This high-density development is in its third phase and provides 34 homes for affordable rent. The construction of the block brought together a traditional build style with a modular one. The ground floor of the scheme was built using traditional construction methods and consists of seven apartments, while the upper floors consist of 27 modular apartments.

Our volumetric modular buildings serve a variety of uses, from office and school extensions to public service facilities i.e. toilet blocks. A big benefit of our volumetric system is the reduced construction time on site, compared with the time and complication normally associated with conventional construction. We also maintain a tight factory control on tolerances and finishes.

Our work in action

North Yorkshire Council approached us to make utility buildings for Traveller’s sites, including a bath/shower room, utility room and kitchen. They were delighted with the price, the delivery and the standard of construction.

Living Plus is a supported living provider within the Places for People group. With a nationwide property portfolio, they help local authorities and other commissioners support thousands of customers with complex needs and families facing homelessness. 

Our work in action

Fortfield Road is a residential block in Bristol designed to provide temporary accommodation and support to families facing homelessness. We’re carrying out the design work to maximise the opportunities of the existing site.

Not only that, but after the Planning Approval process has completed, we’ll be constructing more volumetric modular homes at our factory, that will be added to the southern part of the current building. 

Each of our homes consists of several modules, which are built to current Building Regulations and Architect’s specifications and finishes.

The modules are precision engineered, volumetric structures, which include all electrical and mechanical services and facilities. All other fixtures and fittings, including windows, kitchens, and bathrooms are fully finished and equipped before leaving the factory.

Completed modules go through quality control after completion. Modules are then delivered to site and installed on pre-prepared bases or substructures, utilities are then connected and the final finishing of joints between modules is undertaken on site.

Our design-and-build approach means homes are not only efficient to produce, but their long-term running costs are lower too. This is thanks to the excellent thermal performance and air tightness we can achieve in a factory environment, compared to a normal construction site where the building is exposed to the elements for a period of time before its weather tight.

Our work in action

As an experienced volumetric modular housing manufacturer, we’ve been involved in many successful housing schemes across the UK. 

Alaska Street, Blackburn  
Modular build homes on the Alaska Street Development have been developed by the Council in partnership with Places for People. This meant 73 new high-quality, comfortable modern homes for families.

 
We delivered:

• 16 two-bed terraced and semi-detached houses
• 42 three-bed terraced and semi-detached houses
• 13 four-bed detached and semi-detached houses
• 2 two-bed detached bungalows

Quentin Court, West Lothian

We built a three-storey residential development of 18 units at Quentin Court in Livingstone. The development was designed to be built in modular construction, with modules produced in factory and assembled on site.
