The adoption of timber frame construction continues to gain traction across the UK—but in England, one of the most persistent barriers remains the lack of familiarity among traditional builders.
Many contractors are highly experienced in brick-and-block methods, but haven’t yet had the opportunity to work with timber frame. This can lead to uncertainty, longer build times, and hesitation around embracing what is, undeniably, a faster, greener, and more efficient way to build.
At Deeside Timberframe, we recognise that change requires more than great products—it demands partnership, training, and a shared vision for progress.
“We understand that moving to timber frame can feel like a leap for some contractors in England—but we’re here to make that transition smooth, supported, and successful.”
– Stewart Ferguson, Contracts Director, Deeside Timberframe
Strategic Support From Day One
We offer comprehensive technical support, detailed design services, and on-site supervision to help contractors get to grips with timber frame erection quickly and confidently. Our systems are precision-engineered for ease of installation, with consistent quality that simplifies sequencing and minimises rework.
Empowering Labour Through Partnerships & Training
The skills gap in England is real—but it’s also an opportunity. That’s why we’ve invested in trusted partnerships, like our collaboration with MiTek for the Posi-Joist system. This not only enhances the quality and flexibility of our floor systems but also enables us to train and empower our clients with the knowledge to deliver best-in-class timber builds.
Our commitment to workforce development runs deep. We work with a select group of trusted erect teams across England and invest heavily in training via STA, CITB, Trada, and NHBC. Backed by our in-house supervisory team—boasting decades of experience—we ensure that every site maintains our standards for safety, consistency, and quality.
Technology That Raises the Bar
To further ease the transition, we’ve implemented Procore, an industry-leading project management platform. This allows for real-time quality control, photographic stage documentation, and seamless compliance with Part L Regulations—providing transparency and assurance on every project.
The Future of Building Is Collaborative
We believe the future of housebuilding lies in collaboration. By giving builders the tools, training, and support they need to work confidently with timber frame, we’re helping to unlock the full potential of Modern Methods of Construction across the English market.
