Laing O'Rourke to Build 550 New Offsite Homes in Southall

Laing O’Rourke has signed an arrangement with developer Stanhope and housing association Network Homes involving a £200 million investment to transform a former industrial area in Southall, West London which will see the construction of 550 new homes.

The partnership will aim to undertake two substantial projects annually in London and the South-east to speed up the delivery of much needed quality new homes. The development will provide a mix of homes for market sale, for private rent plus a significant number of homes for shared ownership and affordable rent. The scheme will also include retail and commercial developments.

The aim is to submit a planning application in Spring 2018 and achieve a start on site in early 2019, with the development completed by mid-2021. The ambition for the partnership is to disrupt current models for delivering new homes by adopting offsite manufacturing techniques to deliver quality new homes at a rate that can’t be matched by traditional construction methods. The Southall project will be supported by modules and other products from Laing O’Rourke’s offsite manufacturing facilities at Steetley, Nottinghamshire and Oldbury in the West Midlands.

The partnership could result in £2 billion worth of housing projects being constructed using offsite methods over the next 5 years.
