Oregon Timber Frame comments:

“We are delighted to welcome such an experienced industry practitioner to the Oregon team. Despite a difficult market place, we are confident that this is time to spread the Oregon message of safe, sustainable timber frame solutions more widely to housebuilders in England.”

“I am very much looking forward to working with one of the UK’s largest independent timber frame manufacturers and to highlighting the advantages of Oregon’s innovative approach to housing providers throughout England.”

Oregon is currently working on projects in both the public and private sectors up and down the UK, including various pilot projects for Code for Sustainable Homes, as they help housebuilders realise the full benefits of Timber Frame construction.
