Project Brief

A series of challenges were presented to FREDS, which we have been able to overcome thanks to our experienced team, flexible processes and the benefits of timber frame. All homes were required to meet the Design Quality Requirements for Registered Social Landlords, plus a steep site had to be factored into all designs. Each plot features exceptional sustainability and efficiency levels thanks to the timber frame construction which has high insulation properties. The homes are then clad in both brick and reconstituted ironstone cladding, showcasing the flexibility of finishing options when using FREDS Timberframe. Based in Gowerton, Swansea, this development sees the construction of 41 high quality affordable homes in collaboration with Jones Brothers (Henllan) with their partnership with Pobl & Coastal Housing. Freds was tasked with the building a mixture of bungalows, houses & flats using timber frame.
