Insurers threaten to pull cover for timber frame

摘要

Insurers could pull cover for completed timber-frame buildings amid growing concerns over safety and the spiralling costs of claims.rnThe warning follows a surge in the number of fires in large timber-frame buildings. Recent figures suggest that 40% of fires that provoked a loss of more than ￡150,000 involved structures built using modern methods of construction, which included timber frame and light gauge steel frame.
