Scotframe Timber Engineering Ltd.
Scotframe, established in the North East of Scotland in 1989 have long been regarded as one of the leaders in the timber frame industry for over 20 years and continue to set the benchmarks their competitors strive to achieve.
As Scotland’s biggest manufacturer, they have supplied a number of their standard timber frame kits to builders and developers on the Housing Expo site as well as their unique SupaWall closed panel system for the Tulloch “Modular” House at Plot 15.
They are pleased to be associated with and supporting the Housing Expo which they feel represents an opportunity for all involved in the building industry here in Scotland to demonstrate the depth of design, architectural, product and manufacturing capabilities that Scotland has to offer along with our sensitivities to housing needs and sustainability.
10.15am to 10.45am Scotframe Corporate presentation by Mike Cruickshank
Presentation title: Timber Frame Taking The Lead – Where Experience Counts
Mike Cruickshank is the Sales Director for Scotframe Timber Engineering Ltd.
His presentation will demonstrate how timber frame manufacturing and the new generation of MMC and future proofed technology is now leading the way in the UK building industry. Building regulations and CO2 emissions targets coming in to place between 2010 and 2016 mean new technologies and techniques are being adopted to meet ever demanding regulations and standards.
As more pressure is put on the construction industry to deliver excellent environmental performance, there will be a greater reliance put on solutions like timber frame which deliver effective, reliable and sustainable results.
