How does the cost of a Kingspan TEK Building System compare to a timber frame?
The thermal efficiency of the Kingspan TEK Building System can offer dramatic energy cost savings over the lifetime of the house.
On the basis of equal performance i.e. a U-value of 0.20 W/m2.K, the cost of a Kingspan TEK Building System would be considerably lower than an equivalent timber frame construction.
Labour cost should be slightly less expensive, due to shorter construction time and also can result in follow on trades starting work earlier, in some cases even as soon as the ground floor is complete.
When the house is built for the purpose of renting, the shorter construction time, as a result of using the Kingspan TEK Building System, usually enables tenants to move in sooner and consequently the owner to achieve a faster payback.
