Delivery and installation
Precision logistics. Expert installation. Predictable performance.
At Donaldson Timber Systems, we don’t just manufacture high-performance timber frame systems, we deliver and install them with the same precision, care, and professionalism that defines our offsite manufacturing.
Our approach to delivery and installation is built around Just-In-Time (JIT) logistics, qualified installation teams, and construction project management that keeps every development on schedule.
It’s a process designed to ensure efficiency, quality, and safety, while reducing site congestion, storage needs, and unnecessary cost.
Just-in-time delivery for maximum efficiency
Every one of our build systems, whether a Sigma® II closed-panel or open-panel timber frame, is delivered to site exactly when it’s needed for installation.
Our Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery model ensures that panels arrive in the correct sequence for immediate crane installation, eliminating the need for on-site storage or double handling.
Benefits of JIT Delivery:
-
No on-site storage required – panels arrive ready for immediate installation.
-
Reduced site congestion – smaller compounds and less plant equipment required.
-
Improved safety and logistics – fewer vehicle movements and clearer access routes.
-
Less material waste and damage – panels are installed directly from transport, protecting quality.
-
Optimised programme certainty – deliveries aligned precisely to installation scheduling.
By aligning our logistics with the build programme, we help you maintain predictable, efficient, and safe site operations.
Professional installation by qualified teams
Once panels arrive on site, our qualified timber frame installers take over.
Working alongside our construction project managers, they ensure every system is craned, aligned, and secured with precision, following our approved installation processes and building regulation standards.
Our installation teams deliver:
-
Safe and efficient crane operations for rapid structural assembly.
-
Professional handling of every closed panel and open panel timber frame component.
-
Consistent build quality that matches the precision of our offsite manufacture.
-
Compliance with Future Homes Standard, MMC Category 2, and building regulations.
-
Clear communication with site management, ensuring seamless sequencing with follow-on trades.
With years of experience and regular training through our Timber Frame Training Programmes, our installation teams represent the very best in UK timber frame expertise.
Construction project management you can trust
Every project benefits from direct support from our construction teams, specialists who oversee delivery, installation, and site coordination to make sure your project runs to plan.
