Whether directly with housing associations or via contractors, we have an extensive catalogue of successfully completed affordable timber frame homes projects. Our approach supports the needs for a cost effective, high performing housing solution that meets the demands of tenant-focused communities through affordable timber housing
We have provided solutions to housing developers in the affordable housing construction market for many years. We have used our timber frame house building expertise to good effect when helping to create desirable spaces for new and existing communities. Our building systems have been developed with flexibility and choice in mind to enable affordable home builders to buy, dependent upon their own key drivers whether cost, speed of build, building performance or a combination of all. We can provide 1) a full supply and install service; 2) an assisted supply only service; or 3) be the supplier of the systems for you to install.
Our client support does not stop at what goes on at site level however. We provide a range of value-adding services that help create long-term successful use of offsite manufacturing to drive on site and general business performance.

Our build for L&Q at the Saxon Reach site uses our Sigma® II closed panel system, creating insulated, noise-reducing homes
With the increasing concerns about availability of site labour, rising worries about fuel poverty and the push towards a net zero carbon industry, energy-efficient offsite manufacturing has never had a bigger part to play in the affordable house building industry. We’re here to help you successfully manage the challenges and demands facing your organisation.
Building Regulations require 45dB noise reduction between plots and our units out-performed the requirement at 63-69dB. (50% above minimum standards) These tests give us confidence in the Stewart Milne timber frame system.
