Century Homes is the largest timber frame building manufacturer in Ireland and Britain, and one of the largest in Europe. Its expertise spans all types of timber frame building projects, from a new custom home to large-scale housing development, from nursing homes to hospitals, from apartments to multi storey hotel projects.
Century Homes is at the leading edge of timber frame development in Europe and have been recently involved in the first six-story timber frame project ever constructed (TF 2000).
Whatever your requirements from house designs to final completion, and wherever in the world that may be, Century Homes timber frame engineering has the expertise and commitment to quality to ensure that your requirements are satisfied.
If you want a quality dream home and you want it to be at the cutting edge of construction techniques, then Kingspan TEK is the solution. It is energy efficient and environmentally sustainable.
The Kingspan TEK Building System is a simple but revolutionary way of building your ideal home. Faster than conventional methods, it allows innovative design freedom, superior quality and outstanding energy efficiency. Living in a home built using Kingspan TEK allows you to benefit from future living standards today.
A Kingspan TEK Building System home not only provides comfort in terms of heating bills and temperature control but has the added benefit of being more spacious. Using this unique technology, walls are no thicker than you would normally expect. In fact in many cases they are thinner and more thermally efficient.
The Kingspan TEK system is completely pre-insulated. It gives you an additional room in the roof space without having to lift a finger.
Off-Site construction delivers real advantages to Clients, Designers, Constructors and other stakeholders in the building supply chain.
Predictability: Off-Site techniques provide predictable cost, construction quality, programme timing and project handover, allowing earlier use and business income return. Off-Site construction minimises weather interruption and programme overrun risk.
Customer Satisfaction: Factory pre-engineering ensures reliability of costs, programme timings, construction quality and mitigates defects allowing client handover certainty.
Safer Construction: Off-Site techniques improve Health & Safety through controlled operations.
Adaptability and Flexibility: Change of internal space use over the building's lifetime is a key occupier requirement which off-site techniques easily provide.
Services Integration: Kingspan's unique manufacturing facility integrates highways for plumbing and electrical services.
Compliance: Off-Site manufacturing ensures full compliance with Building Regulations / Building Bulletins:
Part E / BB93 for Acoustics
Part F / BB87 for Ventilation
Part L2 / BB87 Environmental design of schools
BB90 Lighting design for schools.
Reduced Bid Costs: Exemplar designs facilitate lower bid costs and accelerate design, construction and completion.
Faster Project Start: Off-Site techniques provide faster lead in' and on-site project commencement.
Cost Competitive: Off-Site solutions have been benchmarked against conventional construction methods and costs, and are capital and whole lifecycle cost competitive.
Dimensional Accuracy: Off-Site manufacturing ensures dimensional accuracy of elements, assemblies, and the overall as-built' construction.
Short Build Time: The Off-Site process can reduce the overall construction programme by up to 60% compared with conventionally constructed buildings.~
Reduced On-Site Working: Off-Site techniques reduce reliance upon on-site wet trades' and skilled labour availability.
Construction Methods: Off-Site solutions integrate with conventional construction methods and materials where required.
Lifetime Durability:
structure 60 years
envelope 25/30 years
M&E services 15/20 years
Linings and ceilings 10/15 years
Environmental Sustainability: Off-Site optimises sustainable construction at all stages:
design
material selection and application (lower embodied energy)
waste typically reduced by up to 30%
manufacturing process
materials transportation
on-site working and resources
reduced energy consumption and Carbon Dioxide (CO²) emissions by up to 60% per annum over the building's lifetime
downsizing of M&E plant and equipment
enhanced end of life recyclability
