And work is soon to start on four and five storey apartments for WAC contractors in Hastings, Sussex.

Since the company opened its £4m 80,000ft2 facility near Newport, Wales, it has grown from 10 to 40 employees and secured a number of multi-million pound contracts with major housebuilders.

“We are delighted to be on target with our growth plans as UK housebuilders see the quality output we offer,” said general manager John Goodacre.

“With timber frame’s share of the UK housing market growing at 2% per annum, we are well placed to capitalise on this with our current capacity to manufacture over 30 timber frame houses a week, and the expansion potential we have on our eight-acre site.”

The company has recently completed major projects for Wainhomes (SW), David McClean Homes and Jistcourt (South Wales).
