In housebuilding, every penny counts – but the lowest price doesn’t always mean best value. Discover how Calldene’s 50+ years of experience, PEFC-certified timber, and full design support help regional housebuilders deliver quality, stay on budget, and protect margins.
With margins as tight as they are in housebuilding, cost is always at the front of your mind. Timber demand has long outstripped supply, and made it harder to consistently source quality materials at a fair price.
But with timber structures, cost isn’t just the price on the quote. Late or inaccurate technical drawings, spec mismatches, and quality issues all add to the total cost of the project.
When the pressure is on and you’re juggling multiple sites, it’s tempting to chase the lowest price. But long-term value comes from the quality of both products and service – ultimately shaping the end quality of your build and its commercial success.
So, with everyone claiming “best in class”, how do you know who to trust? And what does quality even mean?
Here’s why regional housebuilders have trusted Calldene for over 50 years – and what quality really looks like in practice so you never have to guess.
