Quality
Quality begins long before a project reaches site.
Building with confidence: our commitment to quality
Choosing timber frame for the first time is an exciting step toward faster, cleaner and more sustainable construction. It is also a decision that deserves complete confidence in quality.
At Donaldson Timber Systems, quality is not an outcome. It is a promise built into every panel, every process and every partnership. For more than fifty years, we have refined how timber frame is designed, manufactured and delivered to ensure that every home performs as intended for generations to come.
Proven systems. consistent results
Each timber frame system is precision engineered in a controlled factory environment using advanced automation and digital design. Every panel is checked for dimensional accuracy, airtightness and thermal performance before it leaves our facility.
This attention to detail means that when your structure arrives on site, it fits first time. The result is a smoother build programme, consistent performance and a higher standard of finish across every plot.
Certified confidence
Independent verification is central to our approach. All products are certified by the leading authorities in modern construction, including NHBC Accepts, BOPAS+, BBA and the Structural Timber Association Gold Standard.
These accreditations demonstrate that our timber frame systems are technically proven, durable and fully compliant with building regulations and the Future Homes Standard. For you, it means assurance that your project meets warranty, funding and performance requirements with ease.
From factory to site: quality every step of the way
Quality is more than what we build; it is how we build it.
Our closed panel and open panel systems are manufactured under strict quality management processes that meet ISO 9001 standards. Panels are delivered in sequence, installed by trained construction teams and checked at every stage for alignment, fixings and finish.
Because the work is completed in factory conditions, it removes many of the variables that can affect quality on site such as weather, material handling or inconsistent labour. It means fewer delays, fewer defects and homes that perform exactly as designed.
Performance you can measure
Our systems achieve verified levels of airtightness, thermal efficiency and durability that exceed traditional construction. Factory fitted insulation and membranes ensure consistent energy performance and long term comfort for homeowners.
These measurable results give first time timber frame users the reassurance that quality is not just promised but proven.
People who care about quality
Behind every structure are people who take pride in getting it right.
Our design, manufacturing and installation teams work closely together to maintain high standards across every project. This shared commitment to quality has earned the trust of national housebuilders, contractors and affordable housing providers across the United Kingdom.
Continuous improvement
Quality is never static. We invest continually in technology, training and product development to keep improving how we build. From digital design to automated production lines, every innovation is focused on delivering better performance, greater precision and more value for our customers.
