Factory-built homes for councils and housing associations
Permanent homes for families in temporary accommodation.
Councils are paying record sums for nightly rooms that leave them with nothing. We deliver accredited, factory-built family homes that a council or housing association owns. Built in the factory while the site is prepared, then installed and handed over in one programme.

The case for permanent homes
Temporary accommodation is the most expensive way to house nobody permanently.
Every night paid for a B&B or a nightly let is money spent with nothing left at the end. The same budget, with grant, builds homes the council or housing association keeps.

How we work
You bring the need and the land. We bring the homes.
Step 1
Appraise the site
Send us a site. We come back with what fits, how many homes, the planning route and an outline programme.
Step 2
Set up the funding
We help you choose the route: council borrowing, grant, a housing association partner or a lease. Then we price against it.
Step 3
Build, install, hand over
Groundworks, module installation, connections, testing and a full handover pack. One team accountable in the UK.
Homes
Flats and family houses from one module system.
Each home is made from a small number of steel framed modules, finished in the factory. Plans and specification sheets are available on request.

Funding and partnerships
We help connect the capital to the delivery.
Most councils know they need homes. The hard part is the route to fund them. These are the routes we work with. We help structure the scheme and price against the route you choose.
