Nationwide, from Exeter to Aberdeen, we have a network of skilled Installers and regional Construction Managers and Supervisors installing timber superstructures on our customer’s developments.

Our portfolio of projects is diverse, ranging from small developments to large schemes and a variety of designs. We differentiate ourselves through great client service, even offering training modules to our clients on MMC.
We are always pushing for better ways to make off-site manufacturing more efficient, better quality, and more cost-effective, making net carbon homes a reality. That’s why we have exciting plans to grow our business.

Established in 1860, Donaldson Group is one of the UK’s largest privately owned timber companies supporting the construction industry.
