Sustainable Property Development – Timber Frame Housing
The Challenge:
The Challenge:
Before investing in a CNC machine, the team at CITU found themselves limited in what they could produce in-house. Relying on third-party suppliers added delays and reduced flexibility when it came to custom elements of their timber frame homes.
The Solution:
With the addition of a CNC machine from Mantech, CITU gained full control over a wide range of production tasks. From custom signage and staircases to letterboxes and other detailed components, the CNC has become a core part of their in-house manufacturing capabilities.
