A team of experts exploring the mainstream use of homegrown timber in the construction sector has secured funding for the next phase of a demonstrator project which will see the first two-storey modular home manufactured from Scottish mass timber displayed during COP26.<\/p>\n

The Transforming Timber initiative – led by Construction Scotland Innovation Centre (CSIC) with support from Edinburgh Napier University, ECOSystems Technologies, the University of Edinburgh and SNRG – has been awarded \u00a31.45m of funding from Innovate UK\u2019s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) to create a fully-functional prototype.<\/p>\n

It is hoped that the demonstrator project and prototype unit – which is being built with a mix of cross laminated timber, glue laminated timber and nail laminated timber components – could lead to the development of the UK\u2019s first mass-manufacturing facility for homegrown natural resources.<\/p>\n

Professor Robert Hairstans<\/a>, head of the Centre for Offsite Construction and Innovative Structures at Edinburgh Napier University, said: \u201cBiogenic offsite manufacturing is an industrialised form of construction that utilises naturally renewable resources with an emphasis on timber, factory, and digital approaches. This project will help accelerate the adoption of these approaches, supporting the utilisation of homegrown timber in line with the declared climate crisis and corresponding necessity to achieve net zero carbon adopting a circular approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
