And Plains – North Lanarkshire
About us…
We are an Off-site manufacturer, at the forefront of the sector. We have a range of sustainable build systems that utilise Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) that allows us to construct homes which are Greener, Faster, Better.
We supply the nation’s House Builders with state-of-the-art, third-party certified wall panel systems, large floor cassettes and roof systems. Nationwide, from Exeter to Aberdeen and everything in between, we have a network of skilled Installers and regional Construction Managers and Supervisors installing timber superstructures on our client’s developments.
With a capacity to manufacture 10k houses a year, we supply and install for the UK’s leading private house builders. We do the same in the affordable sector working for national and regional contractors. We also enjoy strong relationships with more regionally focused house builders. So, our portfolio of projects is diverse from small developments to large schemes and a variety of designs. We have a range of Build Systems and services to suit our client’s needs; it’s what we call tailored customisation. We differentiate ourselves through great client service, even going so far as to offer training modules to our clients on MMC.
We are always pushing for better ways to make Off-Site Manufacturing more efficient, better quality, more cost-effective, and make net carbon homes a reality. That’s why our business is growing.
What a great time to join the Off-Site sector and Donaldson Timber Systems: building in volume and faster to overcome the housing shortage crisis; building leaner with Off-Site Manufacturing techniques to overcome skills shortages; building with the world’s truly sustainable material: timber – to help the country get to net zero carbon by 2050.
