Structural timber for Glasgow builds

From city gap sites to new-build developments on the edge of Glasgow, we supply the structural timber package for new homes. We make the frame, roof trusses and mid-floor joists together, so the whole package is coordinated before it reaches site.

We manufacture to your architect's drawings and your engineer's approved building warrant design. If your design combines timber frame with structural steel, our open panel walls and joists can be built around it, as on the project in the photo.

For Glasgow developers we can supply single plots and multi-plot sites, pricing repeat house types together, with a single point of contact for the frame, roof and floors. We supply house builders including Taylor Wimpey, with production capacity of circa 850 kits a year. If you are building in blockwork or another wall construction, we can supply roof trusses on their own.

Delivery

Planned deliveries to city sites

City sites often come with restricted access, parking limits or tight delivery windows. Tell us about any delivery constraints when you request a quote, so we can plan your delivery from Dalry around your site and programme. Kit packs can be wrapped in Core-branded wrap so no moisture is added in transit, or delivered unwrapped.
