ENGLISH developers are increasingly turning to Scottish-based firms to help them deliver new homes ‘faster, more sustainably and at greater scale’, according to Deeside Timberframe.
The company revealed it has secured a series of major residential projects across England in recent months. Collectively, the developments represent more than 300 new homes across the north east and north west and a multi-million-pound pipeline of work.
The timber frame specialist said this reflects a growing confidence among English developers in ‘proven’ offsite construction partners with the capacity to deliver at scale.
The schemes span North Yorkshire, Cumbria and Sunderland and include a mix of houses and bungalows across sites ranging from 68 to more than 100 units.
As Modern Methods of Construction mature, Deeside Timberframe claimed developers are moving away from experimental approaches and instead prioritising experienced partners with established manufacturing processes, technical depth, and a demonstrable track record.
Derek Wann, business development director at Deeside Timberframe, said, “Developers are under more pressure than ever to deliver homes quickly, efficiently and to a consistent standard. What we’re seeing now is a clear preference for timber frame partners who already understand how to deliver at scale. These are live residential developments where programme certainty underpins every commercial decision.”
For English developers, timber frame is increasingly viewed as both a sustainable choice and a practical route to reducing risk and improving build performance.
Graeme Guy, national sales manager at Deeside Timberframe, added, “We’re being brought into conversations much earlier than before. Developers want partners who can support them strategically, not just supply panels. They’re looking for manufacturing capability, technical assurance and the confidence that delivery can be maintained across multiple sites.”
