Ms Claire McManus:

The game changer would be if the timber frame were the inner leaf and the outer leaf of the building. What goes up very quickly in a 24-hour period is just the inner leaf, which is half of the wall. Typically, on the outside there is a brick leaf or a concrete block leaf. You bring in all the trades you would have for a conventional construction. If those panels were to be closed panels with the inner and the outer, that would tick the building regulation review box. It would also win the hearts and minds in terms of what people expect when they get a house.
