Offsite Solutions

Offsite Solutions, the UK’s leading bathroom pod manufacturer has announced a £5M investment in its manufacturing facility in Somerset to increase capacity in the face of growing demand.

Integra Buildings

Integra Buildings, the East Yorkshire module manufacturer has announced that it is investing £3M to increase capacity at its plant in East Hull after outgrowing its existing site at Burstwick in East Yorkshire.  This is the first in a number of planned developments in response to rising demand from the marketplace for its products.

L&G Homes

Legal & General Homes has unveiled its first turn-key modular housing prototype, a two-storey, two-bedroom home. L&G said it expected to deliver its first homes in the first half of next year. Its factory in Selby, near Leeds, is building the capacity to produce 3,500 homes per year across eight production lines, employing several hundred local people.

Rosie Toogood, chief executive of L&G Modular, previously at Rolls Royce, said: “The unveiling our first prototype today marks an exciting and important step in our programme to bring modular homes constructed from Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) to market. This prototype demonstrates the high quality of our modular solutions debunking preconceptions of modular housing. At full production, homes like this will be delivered repeatedly in a matter of weeks without the snagging issues faced by traditional methods.  She said modular construction was “set to revolutionise the house building sector bringing new materials along with methods and processes used in industries, such as car-making to raise productivity and help to address the UK’s chronic shortfall of new homes”.

Elements Europe

Elements Europe moved its manufacturing operations from Oswestry to Telford some two years ago as it had outgrown the original factory and needed to increase manufacturing capacity as demand for off-site housing has grown.

Premier Modular

Premier Modular, in East Yorkshire also some two years ago was in the throes of opening a second manufacturing facility because it too was unable to meet the growing demand from its original manufacturing site.
