Unfortunately not, we only offer timber build systems for self builders who are undertaking a completely new build dwelling.

Yes, it is just as easy to add an extension to a timber frame or structural insulated panel (SIPs) build as any other method of construction.

This varies depending on the size of the build, typically 80-100m² per week is constructed. An average home can be erected onsite in as little as 2-3 weeks.
 

We will only build the timber structure and supply the insulation pack; we do not offer a turnkey solution. We do now take builds to a weathertight stage which will enable your internal works to begin much sooner. Often, we can put you in touch with project managers and builders, depending on your location.
 

Yes, we built the first Passivhaus show home in the UK at our Show Centre in Cambridgeshire. The ‘Elsworth’ show home was built using the Kingspan TEK™ building system and is open to the public.
 

Most of our whitewood is from Scandinavia and some from Eastern Europe and Canada. Our Douglas Fir is also from Canada.
 

The costs of timber-frame builds are very similar to other methods of construction. There are multiple benefits associated with building with timber frames, one being the time saved during construction. Faster build times reduce site preliminary and labour costs. Timber is a sustainable method of construction and offsite manufacture means your new home is delivered right to site, first time. 

We are also happy to help you compare other quotes to ours to assist you in understanding any differences around inclusions and exclusions. We also offer a transparent quoting service.

This depends on a lot of factors, not least location, specification, and size of build to name a few factors. Generally, a self builder can expect to spend around £1,700 per m².

Potton is our sister company. The main difference is that Potton specialises in architectural design and obtaining planning permission. If you already have a design which requires no changes then Kingspan Timber Solutions can provide a quote for the timber frame/ structural insulated panel (SIP) build system. If you do require any architectural support then please get in touch and we can refer you to the relevant team within Potton.

Yes, we have five permanent show homes at the Potton Self Build Show Centre in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, which you are free to visit. There are five fully furnished show homes onsite including the UK’s first show home built to a Passivhaus Standard. The Show Centre is open Tuesday-Friday from 9-5 pm and every Saturday from 10-4 pm.
 
In addition, we often arrange ‘pop up’ events where you can visit a customer’s home mid-construction. If you’d like to receive invites to these events please register.
