A modern manufacturing build system

Our FastBuild® methodology is a strategic combination of innovative technology and precise engineering designed to unlock a faster, more efficient and highly sustainable way to build with timber frame

Shortened build programmes

Greater on-site efficiencies

Improved health and safety

Reduced costs

Discover a faster, more effective way to build quality homes

Using some of the most advanced manufacturing technology available in the UK, the FastBuild® system has been developed to unlock quicker, more efficient build processes. From extra-long panels, floor cassettes and roofs, to much more construction taking place within the factory, builders and developers can gain significant advantages for their upcoming projects.

Cost savings that can be unlocked

FastBuild® allows significant cost savings to be unlocked throughout the manufacturing and build process, due to all of the benefits described above. These cost savings are associated with the following:

Pre-fitted windows and doors

No safety deck required

Less on-site labour required

Reduced site planning requirements

Multiple unit superstructure erected in one day

Less scaffolding required

Single, not multiple, crane days

Reduced in-transit or on-site damage

Speed of build

By incorporating extra-long panels, floor cassettes, and ground-constructed roofs, FastBuild® redefines efficiency, surpassing the pace of traditional timber frame methods. Through our factory-based build process, we expedite on-site operations, exemplified by the remarkable achievement of erecting two kits in a mere 8.5 hours…

"Everything built into FastBuild® is driven by pain points we know our customers and the wider industry are facing, and there are universal benefits that can be gained - from faster build programmes and higher quality timber frame kits, to improved site safety and enhanced sustainability."
