timber frame benefits

our erectors

At Fleming Homes, we only use accredited and experienced erection teams to erect our timber frame homes – after all, our client’s investment is at stake! Before our teams become official Fleming Homes erectors, they need to be fully tested and accredited by us.

To become a Fleming Homes Accredited Erector, you need to meet two crucial requirements: firstly, you must be a joiner, not just a timber frame erector. Believe us, there’s a big difference! Secondly, you need to be great guys. We know all our teams personally, and have done so for many years. We can vouch for their skills and character 100%.

Our erection squad is made up of four sub-contracted erection teams. Each runs their own successful business, and erects timber frame homes exclusively for Fleming Homes. Each team has earned the right to become an accredited Fleming Homes erector by meeting our stringent qualifying standards.
