Why us
Value for money

Ensuring best value requires a well-planned approach that balances cost-efficiency, rapid deployment, sustainability, durability, and regulatory compliance. Local Authorities face growing pressure to provide quality accommodation while managing constrained budgets, meaning that solutions must be both financially responsible and operationally effective. Our modular housing model directly supports these needs, aligning with national procurement standards and government objectives to reduce costs, improve sustainability, and enhance long-term housing provision.

Cost-effectiveness is a primary consideration for Local Authorities when procuring accommodation. The reliance on high-cost emergency housing, such as bed and breakfasts and private sector placements, places an unsustainable strain on budgets while offering little control over long-term expenditure. Our approach reduces costs per unit by applying standardised manufacturing processes, effective supply chain management, and streamlined construction timelines. By accelerating build times and providing predictable pricing structures, Local Authorities can avoid escalating costs and instead invest in solutions that offer financial sustainability.

Responsible procurement also requires an ethical approach to sourcing. We ensure that all materials are obtained from suppliers who adhere to fair labour practices, environmental sustainability commitments, and Modern Slavery Act compliance. This guarantees that no part of the supply chain contributes to exploitative labour conditions or unethical business practices. We are also committed to fair wages across all areas of our operations, ensuring that both our employees and those in our supply chain are paid at least the Real Living Wage.

Environmental sustainability

Sustainability is a growing priority for Local Authorities, not only in reducing carbon emissions but also in ensuring that operational costs remain affordable. Many temporary accommodation solutions result in high energy bills due to poor insulation and outdated heating systems. Our modular units are designed to address these issues, integrating high-performance insulation, triple-glazed windows, and smart energy management systems to keep running costs low. delivering long-term savings for local authorities while supporting decarbonisation efforts, we can include solar photovoltaic panels to reduce the reliance on grid electricity. Lower energy consumption translates directly into cost savings, ensuring that utility expenses remain manageable while improving living conditions for residents.

Reducing the carbon footprint of construction is equally important. Research has shown that volumetric modular developments can cut embodied carbon by over 40% compared with reinforced concrete structures, reducing emissions by thousands of tonnes per project. This is achieved through the efficient use of materials, reduced on-site waste, and a more controlled manufacturing environment that minimises unnecessary resource consumption. By adopting a modular approach, we ensure that Local Authorities not only reduce ongoing energy costs but also significantly lower the environmental impact of housing developments.

Social value creation

Our commitment goes beyond providing housing solutions; we are dedicated to creating sustainable communities where individuals and families can thrive. We integrate social value into every aspect of our work, ensuring that each project contributes to the wider social, economic, and environmental goals of the local area. By working closely with local authorities, housing associations, and community organisations, we tailor our solutions to the unique needs and aspirations of each community, ensuring that the impact of our work is felt long after the project is complete.

Placemaking is central to our approach, ensuring that developments provide more than just housing. We create opportunities for training, employment, and education while fostering health and wellbeing initiatives that contribute to a stronger community. Our community engagement programmes are designed to support local cohesion, helping residents integrate into their local areas and build a sense of belonging.

A structured approach to social value is embedded in our procurement and delivery models, with a commitment to local employment, training, and skills development. A clear social impact plan is developed for each project, setting measurable targets in areas such as job creation, apprenticeships, and community investment. Transparent reporting ensures that local authorities can track the social impact of each project, demonstrating tangible benefits beyond the provision of housing.

Quality assurance

Delivering high-quality, reliable, and durable accommodation requires an approach built on proven methodologies, experienced delivery teams, and strict quality control processes. Our construction and installation procedures follow industry-leading standards, ensuring that each modular unit meets and exceeds the required building regulations.

Quality is assured through rigorous oversight at every stage of the project. A dedicated site management team ensures that all civil works, materials, and workforce activities align with specifications, maintaining strict adherence to construction and safety standards. Through regular on-site inspections, independent audits, and comprehensive documentation control, we ensure a seamless transition from manufacturing to installation, minimising the risk of defects and delays.

Our partners comprise experienced professionals with a track record of delivering high-quality modular housing projects across the UK. Each member of our team, from project managers to site supervisors, is fully qualified and continuously trained in the latest construction, safety, and compliance standards. By implementing a structured quality control process, we guarantee that every unit delivered meets the agreed specifications, providing robust and durable accommodation that stands the test of time.

Quality and dignity

Energy efficiency isn't an afterthought, it's incorporated into every unit we create.

Our focus on sustainability serves multiple purposes: reducing operational costs for Local Authorities, minimising environmental impact, and creating more comfortable living environments for residents. High-performance insulation, efficient heating systems, and smart design principles all contribute to units that are both environmentally responsible and economical to maintain.

The durability of our solutions further enhances their sustainability. Built to withstand multiple relocations while maintaining structural integrity, these units represent a long-term investment in addressing housing needs.

Risk management

A structured risk management framework underpins every project we deliver, ensuring that potential challenges are identified, mitigated, and managed in collaboration with all stakeholders. Each project benefits from a Project-Specific Risk and Mitigation Plan, covering key risks at both the construction and operational phases.

Construction risks, including material shortages, site delays, and unforeseen ground conditions, are addressed through detailed pre-construction assessments and contingency planning. Supply chain risks are minimised by working with trusted, UK-based suppliers with proven delivery capacity, reducing dependency on long international lead times. Health and safety risks are proactively managed through rigorous compliance checks and on-site monitoring.

Beyond the build phase, we work closely with Local Authorities to manage wider project risks, including reputation management, stakeholder communication, and resident engagement. A joined-up communication strategy is developed for each project to ensure that all key stakeholders, from council leadership to community representatives, are informed and engaged throughout delivery. Transparent reporting mechanisms ensure that local authorities have full oversight of project progress, with proactive issue resolution to prevent potential reputational risks.

Delivery timelines

Speed and efficiency in delivery are fundamental to our approach, ensuring that new housing can be provided when and where it is needed most. Our modular construction process allows for off-site manufacturing and on-site preparation to happen simultaneously, significantly reducing overall build time.

Best practice methodologies are embedded throughout the delivery process, ensuring that projects are delivered on schedule without compromising on quality. Factory-controlled environments allow for precise construction, avoiding delays caused by weather conditions and other on-site disruptions. Standardised designs and pre-approved specifications further streamline the process, reducing the time required for approvals and compliance checks.

A detailed mobilisation plan is developed for each project, ensuring that all required infrastructure, utilities, and site preparations are completed ahead of installation. Experienced project managers oversee delivery, coordinating logistics, site teams, and Local Authority stakeholders to maintain a smooth, efficient process. Our commitment to proactive project management, clear communication, and rigorous oversight ensures that all projects meet agreed timelines while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
