Solid timber doesn't just sit there. It breathes with the seasons - which is why your Fraemohs home feels different in September than a plasterboard home does!

Proud moment for the Fraemohs Homes Canterbury team.

A few weeks ago, we attended the official opening of the Chatham Islands Airport extension, where we supplied the solid timber kitset for the build.

It's always rewarding to see our timber buildings standing strong and serving communities across New Zealand.

A Fraemohs home doesn't really have a finish line.

Timber settles, the light changes through the seasons, and the place slowly starts to feel less like a build and more like yours. That's the bit we never get tired of watching happen.

Concrete or timber?

Both flooring systems have their advantages. Stu explains the key differences and what they could mean for your build.

There’s a certain warmth and atmosphere people often notice the moment they step into a timber home—natural texture, quiet comfort, and that “welcome home” feeling.

One client shared after living in their new Fraemohs home for around 9 months (through summer and into winter):

“I’ve hardly needed to light the fire despite several frosts… It stays warm all night, so we’re still lightly dressed in the morning and haven’t needed to put the heatpump on at all yet.”

They also noticed something many people are curious about:
“Despite everyone warning us it might be noisy and creaking, it’s a really quiet and peaceful house.”

And our favourite line:
“Even the birds seem to love it… they wander on in, thinking it’s an extension of the outside world!”
