Sam Kirby Stretton Residence
A completed prefabricated timber residence in Stretton, Rutland, delivered through a controlled 60-day factory-to-destination workflow and assembled on 65 easy pads in four weeks.
This project demonstrates how ERGIO connects acceptance drawings, production, protective packaging, transport sequencing and site assembly into one coordinated delivery strategy. The result is a customised timber building installed with minimal foundation preparation and a clear, repeatable assembly process.
Project overview
A completed UK reference for fast delivery, light foundations and controlled site assembly.
The Sam Kirby project in Stretton, Rutland, is a practical demonstration of ERGIO’s factory-to-site process. From the confirmation of the acceptance drawing, the construction was prepared for arrival at destination within 60 days, then assembled on site in four weeks.
The building sits on 65 easy pads. This foundation approach required minimal site preparation, was straightforward to install and did not demand specialised heavy equipment. During production and post-production, each panel was prepared for transport and assembly as part of a defined package sequence. After manufacturing, the panels were wrapped in special protective foils that allow the products to breathe while providing UV and weather protection, making temporary site storage safer and more flexible. On arrival, the packages were unloaded in the order required for erection, allowing the panels to be mounted step by step according to the supplied assembly manual.
Programme note
The 60-day period for this project was measured from confirmation of the acceptance drawing to arrival at destination. Future schedules depend on technical scope, approvals, production capacity, transport conditions and site readiness.
Fast-track delivery in practiceA coordinated timber package, light easy-pad foundation and sequenced site workflow reduced preparation and supported a four-week assembly programme.
Delivery and assembly highlights
Efficiency depends on the full chain—not only the speed of panel production.
The Stretton project shows how technical confirmation, packaging, transport, unloading and foundation readiness must remain connected if prefabrication is to create real value on site.
Acceptance drawing release
The confirmed drawing establishes the production baselineOnce the acceptance drawing was approved, the project could move into the controlled production and delivery workflow. This point defines the technical information used for manufacturing, identification and assembly preparation.
60-day delivery workflow
Production and post-production were organised around a defined destination dateThe communicated programme allowed the construction to reach its destination 60 days after acceptance-drawing confirmation, linking manufacturing activities to packing and transport preparation.
Breathable protection
Panels wrapped for UV, weather and temporary site-storage protectionSpecial protective foils allow the timber products to breathe while reducing exposure to ultraviolet radiation and weather, extending the safe storage window on site when conditions require it.
Sequenced logistics
Land and sea transport options coordinated with assembly orderERGIO can coordinate transport by road or sea according to destination. Packages are planned so they can be unloaded in the order required for assembly, reducing unnecessary handling and searching on site.
Easy-pad foundation
65 supports reduced excavation and avoided specialised installation equipmentThe easy-pad solution enabled minimal site preparation and a straightforward receiving interface for the timber construction, helping the erection team begin without a conventional concrete-foundation programme.
Four-week assembly
Panels installed progressively using the supplied assembly manualWith the packages organised and the foundation ready, the construction was assembled over four weeks, with each panel fitted in its required sequence like a coordinated building block.
Commercial value
Why this Stretton project matters for ERGIO partners.
The case study translates factory efficiency into practical advantages for contractors, distributors and developers who need customised timber products without losing control of programme, logistics or site sequence.
Customised specification
The timber package can be adapted to the required thermal coefficients, materials, dimensions and project conditions rather than forcing the partner into a fixed standard building.
Reduced site preparation
The 65 easy pads limited disruptive groundwork and simplified the foundation interface, supporting a faster move from site preparation to building assembly.
Controlled handling
Breathable protective wrapping and sequence-based packaging improve product protection, temporary storage and the clarity of site operations.
Cost-effective execution
By connecting production, logistics and assembly planning, the project illustrates how prefabrication can reduce avoidable site activity and protect the value of the partner’s investment.
Factory-to-site workflow
How the project moved from approved information to a completed building.
The timing is created by a chain of coordinated decisions. Each stage must be ready before the next one can deliver its intended efficiency.
Technical confirmation
The acceptance drawing is reviewed and confirmed, giving production a stable reference for manufacturing and package planning.
Factory preparation
Panels are manufactured, checked, identified and protected in a sequence connected to the planned site assembly.
Transport and unloading
Logistics are organised by road or sea as required, while unloading order follows the erection sequence and available site handling.
Four-week erection
The ready easy-pad foundation, ordered packages and assembly manual allow the site team to install the construction progressively and efficiently.
