RTE is designing, supplying and erecting high quality timber framed structures for Lovells at The Crossings, a site which comprises a total of 178 houses and 120 apartments at the mixed-tenure development.

The milestone was achieved in just 18 months, delivering quality housing efficiently and in line with project timelines. Each timber frame was custom-built at its factory in Elgin, which takes advantage of the latest digital tools and technology to maximise efficiency and ensure precision engineering. 

RTE has been designing, manufacturing and erecting precision-engineered quality timber frame structures for over 35 years and has extensive expertise in helping projects achieve net zero, Passivhaus and high BREEAM ratings.

Mike Turner, managing director at Robertson Timber Engineering, said: “Delivering to programme, our 200th unit marks an important milestone in our first contract and strong relationship with Lovell. We’re involved in every stage of the process from design through to production and installation, ensuring excellence and reliability at each step.

“With a wealth of experience in sustainable offsite construction solutions, we’re pleased to support Lovell Partnerships in creating homes that prioritise energy efficiency and provide high quality homes for communities.”

Tony Rankin, managing director in Scotland, Lovell Partnerships, said: “At Lovell, we are proud to leverage the financial resilience that comes from being part of the Morgan Sindall Group to enable us to consistently deliver high-quality homes at multiple developments.

“The 200th timber frame milestone highlights the strength of our partnership with Robertson Timber Engineering. Their precision-engineered solutions, combined with our capacity and capability to deliver at scale, ensures we can continue to deliver energy-efficient homes across Scotland.”

The development is being delivered in partnership by Lovell Partnerships, Sanctuary Scotland, Sigma Capital, the Scottish Government and the City of Edinburgh Council.
