Timber kit supply underway at former Rosslynlee Hospital site

Carmichael Homes and Muir Timber Systems

MUIR Timber Systems has started delivery of timber kits for the construction of 24 new homes at the former Rosslynlee Hospital site near Penicuik in Edinburgh.

The project strengthens the firm’s partnership with Carmichael Homes, following a collaboration on an affordable housing development in Plean earlier this year.

The initiative involves building 24 detached, two-storey villas. The timber kits are made from renewable materials and are manufactured at Muir Timber Systems’ facility in Inverkeithing.

Gary Gray, general manager of Muir Timber Systems, said, “We’re excited to continue our successful partnership with Carmichael Homes continuing to contribute to new residential schemes across the region. By utilising our sustainable timber solutions, we’re helping to shape communities with homes that not only meet the highest quality standards but also align with the growing need for energy-efficient construction.”

Scott Carmichael, MD of Carmichael Homes, added, “We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Muir Timber Systems on this exciting development in Penicuik. Their commitment to sustainability and quality aligns perfectly with our vision of creating homes that stand the test of time, both in terms of design and environmental impact.

“By using timber kits that are sustainably sourced and manufactured with solar power, we’re ensuring that these new homes will provide long-term value to the community while minimising our carbon footprint.”
