Clients Hazel and Ian wanted a simple energy efficient timber framed home. After discussing a couple of framing options they decided on the Scandiahus frame. They happen to be manufactured in the next village from me in West Sussex, very handy indeed. The house itself is a dormer bungalow clad with block and render. It has underfloor heating throughout the groundfloor and traditional radiators upstairs. All this heated by an air source heat pump and electicity suplemented by six photo voltaic panels. The build went very well with no major problems other than the fact that I had to send my team on another job so was left to finish by myself(and a little help from Ian). By the time I left the roof was tiled and the block work completed, not bad for five weeks work.
