Kingspan Century Company Profile
Established in 1990, Kingspan Century is now the largest timber frame engineering and manufacturing company in Ireland. Kingspan Century provides timber frame kits to both the domestic and commercial market. Kingspan Century manufactures, supplies and erects the timber frame structural shell. The advantage of timber frame is that the builder can proceed with the internal and external work immediately thus leading to a speedier construction time.
Century was co founded by Brian McCaughey, his two sons Gary and Gerry and colleague Jim Mc Bride. Kingspan purchased Century Homes in March 2005. Gilbert McCarthy is Managing Director of Kingspan Century.
The growth of timber frame over the last number of years has been exponential. It now accounts for nearly 27% of homes built in Ireland. Kingspan Century manufacturers over 7,500 house kits a year for the Irish market alone. Century has been involved in a number of ventures on the continent, in Japan and in the United States.
Kingspan Century’s continuous investment in research and development means they have been responsible for most of the technical innovations in the past ten years – a reflection of their commitment to keeping you, the customers at the centre of everything they do.
With each new technical development, many are adopted as industry standards. However, Kingspan Century continues to improve and refine its products and processes so that both you and the environment benefit from this revolutionary approach to home construction. Always happy to share its experience and expertise, Kingspan Century also offers an advisory service on all aspects of home building, from design right through to completion.
