Timber Framed Buildings• Advantages
– Economical– Earthquake resistant– Quick construction time– Light weight– Easily modified
• Disadvantages– Less durable– Limited height– Acoustic performance
can be poor.

Conclusions• Timber framed construction has significant
practical advantages• Sound Insulation has traditionally been
perceived as a disadvantage• Techniques are available to achieve high sound
insulation• High performance designs are vulnerable to
poor construction
