Offsite construction for on-site efficiency

Choose an offsite method of construction for on-site efficiency and thermal performance:

  • Reduced downtime and delay due to weather (compared to masonry construction)
  • Build accuracy with components built to a detailed plan
  • Reduced on-site waste with a large proportion of the construction built in our quality-assured factory
  • Less on-site labour costs with our prefabricated wall systems ready to be assembled at site
  • Improved health and safety on-site, as more work is carried out offsite in a controlled factory environment

"Kingspan Timber Solutions provided the timber frame system, Kingspan ULTIMA, for 3 homes I built in Northamptonshire, they made the whole process simple from start to finish."

Roger Bettley, Developer

"The installation of the KTS kit went very smoothly from ordering to completion with support at every stage. Everything was supplied on time and we found all the team a pleasure to work with as we were on site every day. Our self build has exceeded expectations and is proving to be energy efficient, draught free and very comfortable home to live in."

Bill & Carolyn Barton, Self-builders

"The Kingspan timber frame build is a truly inspiring experience and designed and installed with good precision and factory-build simplicity. A product that is user-friendly when it comes to the second fix, is a time-saving must for any new build and functional in design for all follow-on trades."

Tim Barton, Self-builder

"Minimal heat loss and energy consumption are truly noticeable, an absolute must for any new home, and factually noticeable in a real-time test experience. With a knowledgeable project manager, the Kingspan timber frame system is a time and money-saving asset to the self-build industry for all types of modern and traditional-styled homes."

Adrian Heath, Self-builder

"We have used the Kingspan TEK® Building System on hundreds of low-energy buildings and trust and understand its performance characteristics. From experience, we knew that by carefully sealing and taping the external wall junctions that we could achieve the airtightness required for a Passivhaus level construction."

Dr Paul Newman, Self Build Director, Potton

This was our first time working with Kingspan ULTIMA and we were impressed by the timely responses of the technical team and their extensive product knowledge. Their expertise made the entire process incredibly user-friendly."

We know they are capable in both design and engineering and flexible in the service we require from them."

Paul Jordan, Operations Director, Hill

"The Kingspan build system suits us well because it enables us to progress quickly to a watertight shell which is a crucial build phase for us as it allows access to further finance, and to then work inside and outside the build simultaneously reducing construction time."

Tim Warner, Cormorant Ltd

"The build was highly successful, even with the constraints of a compact site. Offsite construction played a crucial role in enhancing efficiency and reducing on-site complexities. The team’s hard work was widely appreciated, earning commendation from Tendring District Council."
