A Step-Change In Construction

BeattieHouses

From grand designs and contemporary cottages to housing developments, apartments and commercial buildings, Beattie Passive’s patented construction technique is set to dramatically change the way we build today.
Designed to any specification or style, Beattie Passive uses Passivhaus methodology to deliver a complete build system consisting of a treated timber structure filled with continuous insulation. 
Our method of construction delivers new homes quickly and at less cost than traditional methods. Our system also offers huge energy and heat savings as well as dramatically reduced cost of ownership.
And we’re looking after the environment too with 75% less waste material than traditional build methods and we provide a fully certified supply chain. The materials used for each house or apartment are reusable and the insulation material is fully recyclable. In addition, CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 100% using this construction technique.







S4M-02414: Beattie Passive Affordable Social Housing in Dunfermline

That the Parliament welcomes the construction of four social housing homes by Beattie Passive in Inchkeith Drive, Dunfermline; understands that Beattie Passive Build System Limited is a patented build system that uses traditional, readily available construction materials in an energy efficient way to build properties of Passivhaus certified standards, which it is understood require 90% less heating and reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 100%; further understands that Beattie Passive has proved successful in the private residential market and that the build system could be used for schools, nursing homes and factories; considers that, in recent years, high fuel costs have combined with a shortage in affordable, energy-efficient social housing to trap many households in fuel poverty; considers that this style of construction could potentially eliminate fuel poverty; welcomes the fact that the build system will be manufactured and erected by young local trainees from the Fife Skills Development Centre in Kirkcaldy, and believes that the simplicity of this build system will help make more jobs available to young people throughout Scotland.
