Legal & General Modular Homes has teamed up with Hampshire housing association Vivid to deliver over 1,000 affordable modular homes over the next five years which equates to 200 a year.
L&G Modular’s 550,000 sq ft factory builds homes out of cross-laminated timber and can also produce apartment blocks, up to five stories in height, from concrete and steel. External cladding is put in place after installation on site.
They are still a long way from meeting their goal of building 3,500 modular homes a year but it appears they are finally adding substantial numbers of new projects.
L&G’s modular arm was also recently selected by the City of Wolverhampton as a preferred partner for the development of around 400 homes in the city.
Eventually, L&G aims to deliver several thousand homes a year as part of the industry drive to deliver 75,000 homes a year via Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).
