Scotland's housebuilding industry is doing things differently.

In Scotland, 92% of new homes are now built using timber frame - no longer an "alternative method," but the industry standard. Paired with a clear housing target, a strong SME developer base and efficient land use, it offers a practical blueprint for England as it works to scale up delivery.

🚂 A major step forward for our Inverness site.

Our new rail freight terminal - home to SterlingOSB Zero, the UK's only OSB made with no added formaldehyde, will connect the site directly to the Aberdeen-Inverness railway line. In its first phase, it's expected to remove around 10,000 HGV journeys from local roads each year and cut approximately 9,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Last month, we were proud to welcome Stephen Flynn SNP MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Tourism and Transport, to the site to see the development first-hand.

🗣️ "West Fraser is a strong example of turning opportunity into delivery. By enabling more timber to move by rail, this facility is supporting a more efficient, resilient and low-carbon supply chain." - Stephen Flynn MSP.
