Robertson Timber Engineering Earns Verified By Cast Status

Construction News Image

Robertson Timber Engineering (RTE) has been awarded Verified by Cast status, an independent endorsement of its capability, performance and delivery credentials within the modern methods of construction (MMC) sector.

Verified by Cast is carried out by specialist consultancy Cast and assesses evidence across three core areas: company performance, product and system accreditation, and customer satisfaction. The process provides customers with confidence that organisations have demonstrated industry-leading capability and robust credentials.

The recognition reflects RTE's established track record, its recognised quality and safety standards, and its commitment to strong customer service throughout the construction process.

For more than 30 years, RTE has designed, manufactured and erected precision-engineered timber frame structures across the UK. Operating from its manufacturing facility in Elgin, the business combines specialist expertise with advanced digital design and manufacturing technologies to deliver timber frame and mass timber solutions for residential and commercial developments nationwide.

During verification, RTE evidenced established management systems, rigorous quality assurance processes and a strong record of project delivery, supported by industry certifications and accreditations including ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, BOPAS accreditation, Constructionline Gold membership, CATG and CHAS Elite accreditation, as well as robust supply chain assurance processes.

RTE's off-site manufacturing approach helps customers improve cost certainty, reduce waste and increase programme efficiency, while supporting more sustainable construction methods and helping to address skills shortages across the industry.

Alongside timber frame solutions, RTE provides mass timber products including CLT (cross-laminated timber) and Glulam (glued laminated timber), meeting growing demand for lower-carbon construction options. Timber frame construction can save around five tonnes of CO2 per home compared with traditional masonry construction.

Mike Turner, Managing Director, Robertson Timber Engineering, said: "Achieving Verified by Cast status provides independent recognition of the expertise, capability and standards that underpin our work.

"The assessment reflects the strength of our people, the quality of our manufacturing and delivery processes, and our commitment to supporting customers throughout the project lifecycle.

"It reinforces for customers, partners and specifiers our ability to deliver high-quality timber engineering solutions, while demonstrating the evidence, experience and credentials behind our approach to modern methods of construction."
