Project Brief

This development comprised 19 high-quality new homes, delivering a carefully considered mix of open market and affordable housing. Designed to meet local demand while supporting sustainable community growth, the scheme provides modern, energy-efficient homes suited to a range of buyers and residents. We collaberated with Obsidian Homes for this project, another project successfully completed working with each other. Our strong relationship allows for a swift transition from factory to site.

FREDS were tasked with the final phase of 104 houses in a 367 house development in Salford, Manchester. With the first two phases built using masonry, FREDS was chosen to assiting in building phase three using timber frame. Timber frame was chosen by DOMIS Construction to speed up the build process on the final phase. We used the crane erect method on site which eliminated working at height & assisted in the speed of build as requested by our client. Following several site visits, the FREDS team expertly designed and manufactured the homes in our facility. Once complete, the panels were transported to Salford for swift on-site assembly. The project’s quick turnaround showcases FREDS’ efficiency and capability to deliver exceptional results at pace through our off-site manufacturing process.

Testimonial

"I have worked with FREDS Timber Frame on several contracts across the UK in recent years and have always found them to be proactive and responsive to our needs, which can very often be fluid in terms of sequence and programme. From design through to on site erection, their support services are always available with a good, can do attitude and skill sets."
