Redrow is building 200 timber-framed homes in a Cambridgeshire-based regeneration scheme to address a shortage of concrete blocks and speed up the build process. Although the use of timber comes at a higher cost to Redrow, the time saved on the project will recoup savings, according to Tonia Tyler, sales director for Redrow in the south Midlands. Four-bedroom homes at the Alconbury Weald development are priced from £339,950 ($441,969) and available in a range of styles. The new houses have been designed by architects Foster & Partners with help from local firm HKS Architects, who also worked on the design of the nearby St Peter's Church which was completed last year.
