DC Timber Systems Wins First Project With CALA Homes (West)

DC Timber Systems has secured its first project with homebuilder CALA Homes (West) providing timber frame for its upcoming development Sequoia Meadows at Jackton, East Kilbride.

The timber kit firm, which was launched in 2020 and is based in Dundonald in Ayrshire, is set to manufacture, and supply timber frame for 24 apartments located on the development.

Although this is the first project between CALA Homes (West) and DC Timber Systems, The JR Group, of which DC Timber is a part of, has worked with the luxury homebuilder for many years and will support DC Timber on the project by erecting the timber frame on site, with JR Specialist Services carrying out full joinery services and JR Scaffold supporting with the scaffolding infrastructure.

"We hope this will be the first of many projects between DC Timber Systems and CALA Homes (West)."

Robert Lafferty, Site Manager for CALA Homes (West) at Sequoia Meadows, added: "We have a comprehensive procurement process to ensure our building partners and suppliers meet our high levels of quality and finish. We were impressed with DC Timber Systems and by The JR Group’s comprehensive offering here and we look forward to progressing with the project as work starts later this month."
