Would you live in a timber house?
#10
Fantastic! thank you for the feedback already guys really appreciate it ,rep will be given
"Should have 306 specific garages and should specifically not fit a mg zr" - don't worry I will take this into the design consideration lol

To answer a bit of the feedback about the treated wood,
The timber I'm planning on using is cross laminated panels which according to one manufactures data has a burn rate of 0.76mm/min and meets British standard BS EN 1995-2. While I'll admit I don't know how that compares against other materials yet I'll be looking into that during the project. We have to remember as well that concrete isn't totally fire proof and can even partly explode if it gets hot enough due to moisture content. The laminated part along with exterior cladding should ensure a long lifetime of the structure whilst not surviving too long like concrete which can greatly exceed the buildings designed lifespan.

In regards to mortgages that's a good point, had not thought of it. I assume it should be okay since the material itself isn't unknown but I will look into it
Below is the building in london that's 9 stories of timber
