Muir Timber Systems secures new affordable homes contract in Kirkintilloch

Muir Timber Systems has secured a new contract with construction specialist SIM Building Group to support the delivery of 22 new affordable homes at Whitehill Court in Kirkintilloch.

The development will offer a mix of terraced homes and flats, helping to meet local housing needs. As part of the contract, Muir Timber Systems is supplying a full timber kit package, including external wall panels, loose I-joist floors, internal NLB partitions, and loose site-erect roof trusses.

Deliveries to support the erection of the first block of flats began earlier this month, marking a strong start to the build programme.



This project continues a successful working relationship between Muir Timber Systems and SIM Building Group, following the delivery of high-quality timber solutions on previous developments at Coatbridge Road in Glenmavis, Cobblebrae Farm in Falkirk, and Gartcosh Road in Kirkintilloch.
