Size and Timescale

We were involved at a very early stage of the design of this 2000m² school in Anglesey. Including this, our total lead time was 6 ¹/₂ months. The frame was erected in 14 weeks.

Thermal Efficiency

This school was built to be a 'green' school and as well as the very low U-values achieved by the timber frame it also featured a sedum roof, photovoltaic roof tiles and a wind turbine.

Successful Project

By working closely with the Architects throughout the design stages of the school we were able to take full advantage of the timber frame construction. The design featured an engineered roof comprising of both Glulam and I-joists as well as over height panels. These created the large internal spaces and distinctive roof line. Ysgol-y-Graig has won the CLAW (Consortium of Local Authorities in Wales) Sustainability Award 2009.

Size and Timescale

This school contains 4 classrooms and has a total floor area of 850m².

Thermal Efficiency

Thermal efficiency was very important in this project. As a result the U-values and air-tightness in this build were designed to be as low as possible and substantially improve on building regulations.

Successful Project

A large primary school set in Powys, Wales. This project linked together Glulam beams and open panel construction. This shows the flexibility and design of Frame Wise Ltd

Size and Timescale

The school had an area of  650m² and the erection period was around 3 weeks

Thermal Efficiency

Highly efficient wall and roof construction to achieve reduced heating costs and a healthier educational environment.

Successful Project

Frame Wise and Willmott Dixon worked together on a number of educational projects developing the system to provide an on time, on budget solution.

This 795m² single storey nursery was erected over a period of around 4-6 weeks

Thermal Efficiency

By using timber frame this project easily improved on the required value for building regulations.

Successful Project

This school was designed to respect its parkland environment with minimal ecological impact; its cedar cladding helps it blend into the background. Timber frame was chosen for this project as the low carbon cost fitted this ideal.
