Employer Description:

As a leading timber frame manufacturer our services and products are based around the drive for energy efficient homes.

Our family run business began when our founder, passionate about sustainability saw a need to create more energy efficient homes.

His vision was to design and manufacture homes offsite using all the advantages of building in a factory.  With a background in construction and a strong passion for designing and problem solving Buildakit began manufacturing and the company grew. We have been offering highly insulated energy efficient homes for over 25 years.

Since then we’ve come along way and our construction experience and expertise are perfectly suited to tackle many of today’s biggest sustainability and development challenges. Our mission is to provide innovative, sustainable, and high-performance timber frame panels that help builders to create energy-efficient and durable structures.
