Increasing our use of timber frame construction will play a central role in shaping the future of the business, delivering much-needed energy efficient homes while continuing to meet the high standards of quality our customers expect from Bellway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Hagan, Managing Director at Home Space, Bellway, added: \u201cHome Space provides Bellway with a purpose-built facility that brings timber frame manufacturing closer to our housebuilding operations. The scale of the facility, combined with its state-of-the-art machinery and excellent location, enables us to manufacture high-quality timber frame components efficiently and support the delivery of much-needed homes across our developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to be able to recruit and reskill our workforce recruited from the local area, which has seen a decline in manufacturing production over recent times. We selected Mansfield due to its manufacturing heritage and perfect geographic location giving road access to many of our divisions across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-info\">\n<div class=\"sleeve\">\n<div class=\"author-avatar\">\n<div class=\"sleeve\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Grant Prior\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"photo\">\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-info -->\t\t\t<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionenquirer.com\/2026\/01\/30\/bellway-opens-timber-frame-factory\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">This article was originally posted at Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Bellway Home Space is a new 135,000 sq ft manufacturing facility developed in partnership with Donaldson\u2019s Timber Systems and &#8230; <a title=\"Bellway opens timber frame factory\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/bellway-opens-timber-frame-factory\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Bellway opens timber frame factory\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1089],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-construction-enquirer","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34128\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
