Muir to supply timber kits for Kirkintilloch affordable homes development

Timber kits

MUIR Timber Systems has secured a contract with SIM Building Group to support the delivery of 22 new affordable homes in East Dunbartonshire.

The Whitehill Court development in Kirkintilloch will comprise a mix of terraced homes and flats. As part of the contract, Muir is supplying a full timber kit package, including external wall panels, loose I-joist floors, internal NLB partitions, and loose site-erect roof trusses.

Deliveries to support the erection of the first block of flats began earlier this month.

The project continues the working relationship between Muir and SIM Building Group, following the delivery of timber solutions on previous developments at Coatbridge Road in Glenmavis, Cobblebrae Farm in Falkirk, and Gartcosh Road in Kirkintilloch.

Muir delivers timber solutions for a variety of contractors and housebuilders across Scotland from its factory in Inverkeithing. The kits for this project are crafted using sustainable materials and produced with energy drawn from the factory’s solar array.

Gary Gray, general manager of Muir Timber Systems, said, “We’re proud to be continuing our strong working relationship with SIM Building Group on another important affordable housing development. At Muir Timber Systems, we focus on providing timber solutions that not only meet the highest standards of quality and efficiency, but also contribute to the creation of lasting, sustainable communities. Whitehill Court is a great example of this, and we’re excited to play our part in bringing these new homes to life.”

Michael Thewlis, commercial director of SIM Building Group, added, “We have engaged with Muir Timber Systems on previous developments over the last five years and the good working relationship has been instrumental Sim Building Group delivering well-designed, energy-efficient homes for developers across central Scotland. Muir’s consistent quality and responsive service help keep our projects moving efficiently and we are delighted to be working together once again at Whitehill Court to provide much-needed affordable homes in the heart of Kirkintilloch.”
