  • Standard construction details for all our systems with specialist support from our design co-ordinators for more complex constructions
  • Fire resistance test evidence for the wall constructions you are using to reduce your risk and ensure regulatory compliance
  • U-value, condensation risk and thermal bridging calculations, prepared by our in house technical team for your project

Offsite construction for an efficient build

Offsite construction for housing developments and commercial construction has a number of benefits:

  • Build accuracy. Ensures components are built to exact specifications in a controlled factory environment
  • Less on-site disruption. Each component of the panel is constructed and assembled offsite, from the external breathable membrane to the internal timber service battens. 
  • Reduced on-site labour. With a large proportion of the build manufactured offsite compared to traditional methods of construction
  • Less waste. Prefabrication minimises on-site cutting and construction reducing waste and disposal costs.

"Kingspan Timber Solutions provided the timber frame system, Kingspan ULTIMA, for 3 homes I built in Northamptonshire, they made the whole process simple from start to finish."

Roger Bettley, Developer

"The high degree of skill and expertise consistently demonstrated by the Kingspan team provided us with a great deal of confidence in the delivery of an incredibly challenging project, both in terms of scope and scale."

Paul Gransby, Construction Director, ISG

"Kingspan’s solution driven approach was an important factor in our successful relationship, and the company’s ability to plan ahead and offer us a transparent working methodology, with clearly defined processes, provided enhanced certainty in programme delivery. This made project management much more straight forward and Kingspan actively contributed to the smooth running of the programme."

Paul Gransby, Construction Director, ISG

"Kingspan Timber Solutions were very good. They did what they said they would and never failed. And for someone in a position like mine, that's a great help."

Stan Smith, ISG Project Manager

"Kingspan Timber Solutions have been our top timber frame supplier for a number of years. They were open in terms of the use of layouts, and their flexibility is an important part of the relationship we've had with them. We know they are capable in both design and engineering and flexible in the service we require from them."

Paul Jordan, Operations Director, Hill

"The Kingspan build system suits us well because it enables us to progress quickly to a watertight shell which is a crucial build phase for us as it allows access to further finance, and to then work inside and outside the build simultaneously reducing construction time."

Tim Warner, Cormorant Ltd

"The build was highly successful, even with the constraints of a compact site. Offsite construction played a crucial role in enhancing efficiency and reducing on-site complexities. The team’s hard work was widely appreciated, earning commendation from Tendring District Council."

Paul Willey, Rose Builders
