Every day the 250,000sq ft facility produces eight new modular homes which can be installed on site at a rate of six homes per day. The units have flexible layouts and there are more than 100 design variations, including two-storey terraced houses, semi-detached properties and four-storey apartment blocks. Each unit can be tailored to the private, social housing and rental markets.
The company's whole-house volumetric system is the first to achieve National Housing-Building Council (NHBC) recognition and will be covered by NHBC's Buildmark warranty.
