Advantages:
-Lightweight - makes for simple and quick construction methods which reduce time, risk and environmental impacts of the project.
- Reduced site labour costs.
- Quality contolled from manufacturing

Disadvantages:

- Timber constuction runs the risk of rot and decay which could cause structural problems over time.
- Although timebet is a quick build, they often require additional design time, this could affect time and budget.

Advantages:
Can be prefabricated which avoids being exposed to weather conditions
Save project time as other workers can get involved quicker due to prefab installation
Disadvantages:
Small risk of decay/rot
Small risk of infestation
Fix to timber frame as plasterboard wall covering won't withstand weight

Quick construction time.
Reduced site labour costs.
Quality controlled from manufacturing.

Disadvantages:
1. Fire
2. Rot/Decay
3. Condensation Risk
4. Beetles/Woodworm
5. High level of supervision whilst erecting
6. Cutting down trees
7. Transportation of wood, from source to build causes a lot more pollution
8. Three story height limit
9. Damages local economy as prefabricated timber reduces jobs
10. Seasonal effectiveness

# data[].attributes.body
-lower cost
-specialist installation team from manufacturer
-speed
-easy to construct on site
-thermal performance (warms up quickly, ideal for houses used in eves and weekends)
-lower moisture content (less likely to have condensation)
-less waste
-sustainable
-good for less stable foundation ground
-self-build

Cons
-Sound insulation
-height restrictions
-fire risk
-rot/woodworm on outside
-internal fixing points (studwork)
-Timber bowing

Advantages:
Cheap
Quick erection time
Renewal
Uses less energy  than man made products such as steel
Reduced waste through efficient controlled manufacturing
Efficient quality assurance
Timber can be put up in any weather conditions
Fast heating due to thermal mass
Dry form of construction
Prefabrication can reduce labour time on site

Disadvantages:
Combustibility of timber requires alot of quality control to achieve the required fire safety level.
Exposure to weather conditions may damage the timber
Eventually it will rot.
Wood boaring insects
Transportation of the timber can be a lengthy process
