ADVANCES IN RENDER TECHNOLOGY ARE REDEFINING WHAT’S POSSIBLE ON LARGE SCALE HOUSING SCHEMES
CASE STUDY: WEST CRAIGS VILLAGE In Scotland, the West Craigs Village scheme near Edinburgh is one of the largest new build housing developments in Scotland, and an excellent example of how render technology can transform the build process. For housebuilder Barratt Homes, quality, aesthetics and effi ciency were paramount in terms of delivering homes at scale and this is why it turned to modern render solutions to meet its objectives. K Rend recommended applicator Gavin Cairns Roughcasting has experienced the transformative impact of render solutions at West Craigs Village. “We use a range of K Rend products, including K Mono, which has been a game changer for large volume sites,” said Gavin Cairns. “The ‘same day scrape’ capability allows us to fi nish within site hours, keeping projects on track. The technical support and ongoing updates from K Rend’s R&D team

have also been invaluable.”
SUPPORTING DEVELOPERS Render manufacturers are now going beyond product development to provide complete support to housebuilders throughout the construction process. From early design input to on-site advice and installer training, the manufacturer’s expertise ensures optimal application and performance. This collaborative approach is a signifi cant advantage for developers tackling the complexities of modern
housing projects.
As the housebuilding sector steps into gear to meet government housing targets, innovation and exibility will be essential. Render systems are uniquely positioned to help deliver projects as quickly as possible. These products address the immediate challenges of labour shortages and rising costs, setting new benchmarks for quality, sustainability and effi ciency. For developers, they represent not only a faster route to completion, but also a smarter way of building.
