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 a great person. We know all our teams personally, and we can vouch for their skills and character 100%.

Our erection squad is made up of sub-contracted erection teams. Each runs a successful business and is experienced in erecting timber frame homes. Our teams have earned the right to become accredited Fleming Homes erectors by meeting our stringent qualifying standards.

John and his team have been working with us since 2020. John is a specialist timber frame joiner who has erected kits for many well-known housebuilders and kit providers throughout Scotland. The team is based in Dunfermline so are well-positioned to service Scotland's central belt. However, they are equally happy traveling throughout the UK to erect quality bespoke timber frame homes. John is rapidly climbing the ladder of ‘most erected’ Fleming Homes kits, edging into third position on the leader board in 2022.

ERECTION TEAM
 

Although supremely experienced in all things timber frame erection and joinery, John and Ian are the newest ‘kids’ on the block. Although they erected their first kit for Fleming Homes over twenty years ago, they have only recently rejoined our team of ‘accredited’ erectors in 2021. Both have over 30 years of experience in erecting timber frame homes and joinery work. The third member of their erecting team is Ian’s son Cameron.

PAUL RILEY & DAVID BELL

ERECTION TEAM
 

Paul has worked with Fleming Homes since 2014. He's partnered with Davie since 2018 almost exclusively on erecting our kits. Of all our crews, Paul and Davie have erected the second-highest number of kits for Fleming Homes. It's also likely they have travelled the furthest distance; Paul and Davie love discovering new parts of the UK. They have an uncanny ability to create special relationships with our clients and have been shouted dinner by clients more times than any other joiner or employee!
