We are an independent UK-based company leading the field in the design, manufacture and assembly of solid timber structures. Our collection of completed solid timber buildings outnumbers that of any other UK company, and our in-house expertise spans both design and installation services.
Company History
In 2003, Eurban became the first to endorse cross laminated timber construction as a high-quality, efficiency-optimised building system in the UK. This followed the use of the material in Switzerland during the 1990s, and its adoption in central Europe slightly later.
Recognising the extraordinary benefits cross laminated timber could offer not only to the construction and design industries, but also to the aesthetics of the built environment, Eurban developed a unique design, manufacture and installation process which now serves a global market.
Eurban Limited is established, becoming the first UK company to specialise in solid timber construction and endorse cross-laminated timber as a viable alternative to concrete in the urban context.
Eurban delivers the UK’s first cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction, a copper-clad building making up part of the Performing Arts Centre at Caldicott School in Buckinghamshire.
Eurban design, supply and assemble the solid timber structure for the UK’s first mid-rise CLT building, Fairmule House in Hoxton, London.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is adopted across Eurban’s design, manufacturing and assembly processes.
Eurban work on 9 solid timber building structures for CO2 Zero, the UK’s first open-market housing project to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes (CfSH) Level 5 Status.
Our team is made up of architects, timber engineers, land ecologists, carpenters and builders – all dedicated to quality timber and better buildings. They are led by the Eurban directors, who pursue a shared drive to create innovative, efficient buildings using solid timber structures and highly resourceful methods.
Liam grew up in Scotland and trained in Architecture and Engineering at the University of Bath. He is well acquainted with the international industry, speaking fluent German and spending time as an assistant Architect and Engineer in Germany, Switzerland and the UK. Liam’s commitment to sustainable construction led him to the London-based company Construction Resources, where he met his future business partner, Jonathan.
“Delivered project on time, on budget, in a very professional manner. All members of the team project focussed and integrated with other stakeholders easily. Eurban were very helpful at suggesting products to aid achievement in attaining Code 4 (Code for Sustainable Homes).”
“We appreciate Eurban’s proactive and collaborative approach to working with R G Carter … We have very much enjoyed working with your team on this project and look forward to working with your company on our future projects.”
“Kier were very impressed with the speed of Eurban’s installation team and the staged hand over enabled other trades to start work at the lower floors while erection of the upper storeys continued. Both the on-site and office teams have positive, problem solving attitudes and can be relied upon to respond promptly to the daily challenges of site.”
“The successful use of BIM played a big part in the efficiency of the design and build process and Eurban’s proactive approach to and use of the technology was another very positive aspect of the project which was awarded the Construction Computing Award for Collaboration Project of the Year 2014.”
“Eurban proved to be very professional in both the pre-construction activity and during the site installation period.”
“An extremely professional team from the designers to the installers, a definite can do attitude, a no nonsense quality control system which they are happy to engage and explain what is right and what needs attention before sign off. A Design team happy to assist in solving queries from external agencies and qualifying the product by explaining its capabilities with both verbal and technical evidencing particularly when the agency is a first time user of CLT as a structural solution. The supervision on site is particularly worth a mention, they were on hand to guide and educate us as the client in the most efficient work methods and seamless way of handling the logistics of large panel systems delivered and loaded out on a tight site, with particular attention to the Health and Safety of themselves and all other operatives they interacted with.”
