Timber frame housing systems 1920 to 1975
This report gives guidance on the inspection and assessment of timber frame dwellings built between 1920 and 1975. It describes the construction characteristics of dwellings built in this period and provides a step-by-step guide to carrying out a site inspection. This report should be read in conjunction with two companion reports (BR283 and BR284) which give detailed coverage of individual systems and possible variants. BR282
Timber frame housing systems built in the UK between 1920 and 1965
This report records the form of construction of timber frame dwellings built between 1920 and 1965. It identifies locations in the UK where deterioration has occurred, and highlights the areas in dwellings to which surveyors should pay particular attention when carrying out an inspection. The report is based on the results of BRE investigations of over 50 dwellings, covering 14 different systems. BR283
