Oregon Timber Frame has achieved a record year of manufacturing timber frame kits for Barratt Redrow’s sustainable homes

We're proud that Oregon Timber Frame has achieved a record year of manufacturing timber frame kits for Barratt Redrow's sustainable homes.

As part of scaling up off-site construction methods, we opened a £45m timber frame factory in the East Midlands and invested a further £24m to expand Oregon's existing facility in Selkirk in the Scottish borders.

This led to Oregon producing almost 4,000 timber frame kits in 2024, a 26% increase on the year before. And Oregon aims to grow further in 2025, with over 5,500 homes expected to be built from timber frame kits.

The new factory in Derby has added 140 jobs and the expansion of Oregon in the Scottish Borders is creating a further 70 jobs. Recruitment will continue at both factories this year.

Peter Wade, Joint Managing Director at Oregon, said: "The significant investment by Barratt Redrow in new manufacturing facilities, jobs and skills has reaped rewards for customers and the environment.

"We've been able to manufacture more homes in our state-of-the-art factories, which use sustainable timber, are precision-built and most importantly, enable a greater depth of insulation to be added to make homes warmer and cheaper to run."
