Architects

We need architects to design home fit for the future...
Architects have had little success in influencing commercial housing over recent years. Now that the Government's determination to address the housing shortage looks like leading to a significant increase in house building over the next few years, there is an opportunity to create new urban environments we can all be proud of.

It is widely accepted, Post Egan report, that building industry practices have to change; that we cannot continue to build with brick and block and plaster, using poorly skilled labour on messy sites in all weathers.

Off-site fabrication is the way to achieve this change - what you might call a belated industrial revolution: creating as much of a building as possible in the controlled environment of a modern factory, leaving as little as possible to the vagaries of the weather and onsite labour skills.

At Target Timber Systems we are very happy to integrate with the Architect at a very early stage to ensure the best benefits can be gained from off-fabrication.
