Why Use OSM?

It is primarily the environmental and quality benefits of timber OSM that make this a compelling construction method today and for the future. There is a strong upward trend in the use of timber generally in house building; the use of timber-frame building systems is currently growing three-times faster than all other building methods put together Moreover, OSM is the way-forward for timber-based construction. It represents a different approach to house building, being essentially a manufacturing process that needs to be interfaced seamlessly with the construction process.

OSM is the competitive answer to ever-stringent building regulations and related pressures to change the way we build homes. These pressures for change are centred primarily on the need to make homes more energy-efficient and to meet "sustainability" criteria. Sustainable development means responsible house building: environmentally, socially and economically. OSM allows house builders – be they individuals or developers – to create high quality homes; to improve construction productivity; to reduce the impact of development on the environment.

So, what are the specific benefits of OSM for home owners and developers compared to more traditional construction methods?
