Donaldson Timber Systems Partners with HebHomes

Donaldson Timber Systems Partners with HebHomes

UK offsite timber frame manufacturer, Donaldson Timber Systems, has partnered with architect-designed home supplier, HebHomes to provide the timber frame structure for their homes throughout the UK, Ireland and overseas.

Donaldson Timber Systems has developed a closed panel system using its Sigma II technology and insulated roof cassettes to achieve U-values of 0.15 W/m2K as standard.

Working collaboratively, Donaldson Timber Systems and the team at HebHouse have refined and developed construction details to suit the specific needs of HebHome customers.

With many buildings in remote or technically challenging locations, the teams have improved buildability and logistics for difficult sites while still achieving the design intent.

Weather conditions can significantly impact the build programme for homes located on rural or exposed sites, so the precision and offsite manufacture of the Sigma II system has reduced time on site, improved predictability and enhanced overall build quality for HebHomes.

The Sigma II closed panel timber frame system ensures consistency in performance, manufacture and programme, while integrating seamlessly with HebHomes architectural designs, delivering the clean, contemporary aesthetic principles HebHomes is known for without compromising on performance.

Five projects have been completed to date, in Northern England, Oban, Scarfskerry, Glenelg & Westhill, with more planned for later in the year.

Gary Shaw, Head of Key Accounts (North) at Donaldson Timber Systems said: “This is an exciting partnership for Donaldson Timber Systems in a completely new market for us. HebHomes is a fantastic business, offering a high-end, energy-efficient product that we’re proud to put our name to.

“Our Sigma II Build System aligns perfectly with HebHomes’ design-led approach, delivering excellent U-values and supporting the high-performance building standards their clients expect. We’re really enjoying working together and look forward to developing this relationship further.”

Fraser Stewart, Operations Director at HebHomes said: “From the outset, we recognised that Donaldson Timber Systems shared many of the same core values as us, with a strong commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation in modern construction.

“We view the Sigma II system not just as a product, but as part of the future of efficient, low carbon construction, something that aligns closely with our long-term vision as a business.

“The greatest benefit has been the strength of the partnership.

“Donaldson Timber Systems has a highly experienced and approachable team, and there is always a sense of collaboration and support throughout the process, from early technical coordination through to delivery on site.

“This has made them a valuable partner in delivering high quality, sustainable homes for our clients.”
