Barratt Developments plans to increase its workforce and invest in new plant development at Selkirk-based Oregon Timber Frame, following its acquisition by the house builder in 2019.
This will see the creation of around 40 new jobs in the Borders community, the extension of the plant’s existing manufacturing capacity - which is expected to see up to £6m in investment - and the development of new office premises.
The plans form part of Barratt’s long-term goal to increase its use of modern methods of construction offsite, while reducing its carbon footprint, both of which are enabled by timber frame technology.
