Woodend at Crathes is an exclusive and innovative housing development, consisting of only 24 contemporary, detached homes. Located in the picturesque surroundings of Crathes, this project offers homeowners a unique opportunity to design their own homes, with a focus on high sustainability credentials and achieving Scotland’s Gold Standard for energy efficiency.
Deeside Timberframe was proud to partner with AJC Scotland on this project, providing offsite-manufactured structural timber frame kits. These kits have not only enabled the homes to be built with sustainability in mind but also allowed for a fast, efficient, and streamlined construction process.
Sustainable Timber Frame Solutions
One of the key features of the Woodend at Crathes project is its commitment to sustainability. All homes are designed to meet the Gold Standard, prioritising energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Deeside Timberframe’s offsite-manufactured timber frame systems were selected as the ideal solution for achieving these goals. Timber, as a renewable and carbon-sequestering material, aligns perfectly with the project’s sustainability vision.
By using prefabricated timber frame systems, the project benefits from a reduced carbon footprint, as the manufacturing process minimizes waste and optimises the use of materials. Timber frames also provide excellent thermal performance, contributing to the energy efficiency of the homes.
Efficiency and Speed of Build
One of the major advantages of using timber frame construction at Woodend at Crathes is the speed of build. Deeside Timberframe’s offsite-manufactured kits arrived ready to be assembled on-site, significantly reducing construction time compared to traditional building methods. The homes can be weather-tight in a matter of weeks, which accelerates the overall build schedule and helps meet project timelines.
The Woodend at Crathes development showcases the strength of collaboration between AJC Scotland and Deeside Timberframe, demonstrating how sustainable building practices can be integrated with modern, efficient construction methods. The project is a testament to the benefits of timber frame construction, providing homeowners with sustainable, high-quality, and energy-efficient homes in a beautiful setting.
