Manchester-based Haigh and Haigh is building the development but Chandos has delivered £600,000-worth of timber frame to form the backbone of the building.
“We have now craned the final frames of into place to create the striking slanted roof at the top,” said Chandos director John Sutton. “But Chandos’ team are still on site as part of our quality control commitment.”
The 52-apartment development in Altrincham Road, Manchester features “stay-dry” timber, which Chandos claims minimises shrinkage and movement and allows for more precise construction.
Haigh and Haigh has chosen to use timber frame in the development as it is environmentally friendly, cost effective and offers long-lasting properties, which have already attracted many buyers to the apartments according to Chandos.
