Kirkwood Timber Frame achieves NHBC Accepts standard

Kirkwood Timber Frame has been accepted to the small list of timber frame manufacturers in Scotland, which have achieved the NHBC Accepts standard.

NHBC Accepts is a comprehensive review service for innovative systems that builds confidence in the use of offsite construction techniques among developers, manufacturers, and end users.

Malcolm Thomson, Kirkwood Timber Frame Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to have achieved this standard, and it is testament to the quality of our product, its manufacture, and the hard work of our team.

“This proves that our systems have been rigorously assessed and can meet the robust NHBC Standards. It also demonstrates that, subject to appropriate design and installation, the system can be used in homes covered by all NHBC warranty products.

“This is a significant step in supporting our customers and ultimately the end users (the buyers) of timber frame homes across Scotland and the rest of the UK. It is also an indication that Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), such as timber frame, are rightly beginning to receive the validation and accreditation required to increase their use in construction – and the delivery of much needed housing at pace.”
