Karl Rooke Bricklaying - Specialist in self-build accommodation. All construction and building work considered.

Self-build accommodation 
Self-building allows you to build your dream home, to the requirements that you as an individual or family want.  You can have your own housing style, decide what rooms you want and where, and choose the room sizes you want (baring in mind council building regulations).  On another plus side, with today's housing market - building your own home is also more cost-effective.

Self-builds usually consists of either timber frame type dwellings or traditional type dwellings.

Timber frame 

Timber frame construction is a method of building which relies on a timber frame as a basic means of structural support, which is by far the most environmentally friendly way to build and never fails on meeting and exceeding all current building regulations.  This timber skeleton is a precision engineered structure that is strong, durable and cost-effective.  External walls are built with either concrete block and a plaster type finish.  Or face brickwork, or stone work finish.

Traditional 

Traditional dwellings consist of block work inner-skins including partition walls.  These walls will either be a concrete block or a thermalite block, with added insulation in the cavities.

External walls are built with either concrete block and a plaster type finish.  Or face brickwork, or stone work finish.  The design of the outer walls of the buildings typically depend in the individuals requirements in terms of style, as there is so much to choose from.
