Better, faster, and sustainable construction made in the UK
Download the Mass Timber Centre of Excellence Virtual Factory Tour
Explore our Mass Timber Centre of Excellence Virtual Tour to learn how building with sustainable timber products like cross laminated timber (CLT), sourced sustainably from the UK, can help your organisation deliver projects that finish on time, on budget, and without compromise.
Construction teams & clients
If on a construction project team or on the client side, your project may struggle with:
Low margins and tight budgets compounded by elevated import costs
Supply chain disruptions impacting project timelines
Risk and regulatory barriers to adopting sustainable construction methods
Budget pressures, scheduling constraints, and regulatory compliance requirements affect all project stakeholders, from clients and architects to engineers and contractors. Delays create cascading effects across project phases, while supply chain bottlenecks complicate timeline management and stakeholder communication.
Using UK-grown CLT, Glulam and mass timber brings compelling advantages such as speed, strength and sustainability. For construction project teams and clients, the mass timber specialist team at BE-ST can support the specification of mass timber for construction projects, to become a viable option that supports both project objectives and sustainability goals.
Manufacturers & suppliers
In the current climate, UK-based supply chains face numerous challenges:
Elevated costs importing raw timber materials from European suppliers
Requirements for manufacturing precision and quality control
Increasing regulatory compliance and sustainability standards
Post-Brexit import delays and costs impact production schedules and profit margins. Manufacturing tolerances that fall short of specifications result in material waste and extended project timelines. And as sustainability requirements become standard across the industry, manufacturers must evaluate whether current supply chains and processes remain commercially viable for future project bidding.
For offsite manufacturers, systems builders, and companies interested in developing product lines using sustainable materials, CLT, Glulam and mass timber sourced from the UK, paired with BE-ST’s advanced manufacturing capabilities, offers a strategic alternative.
