The project is set to utilise astudio’s amodular off-site housing approach, which reduces the cost of modular housing.<\/p>\n
The development on Sugden Way in Barking will see a series of council flats delivered in just 60 weeks – cutting the 24 to 30 month time frame of traditional construction processes.<\/p>\n
Richard Hyams, Co-founder and CEO of\u00a0astudio, said:\u00a0\u201cSecuring this planning permission marks a milestone in what has been a four-year journey to prove that there is a better way to procure affordable homes.<\/p>\n
To get the go-ahead for a project of this scale, tells us that planners are recognising the value that our approach can bring to a community.<\/p>\n
“Our approach offers one potential response for policymakers to consider to help address the UK\u2019s housing crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project will be delivered in partnership with\u00a0regeneration company Be First and\u00a0offsite modular manufacturer\u00a0Rollalong.<\/p>\n
Manufacturing assembly will begin early next year for completion in summer 2019.<\/p>\n
Astudio\u2019s innovative volumetric modular construction method enables more low-energy homes to be built.<\/p>\n
The builds will be fitted out and manufactured offsite using precision methods of construction to provide robust, high-design modular housing at less expense than traditional modular housing.<\/p>\n
Reduced costs are achieved through bulk purchasing of materials and components, while speeding up the production process and reducing the potential for defects during build.<\/p>\n
Multiple fixtures, fittings and cladding options both internally and externally are available, enabling each building to have a distinctive look and feel.<\/p>\n
astudio has secured planning permission to use modular constructon to provide high quality homes to the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[942],"tags":[666,676,571,916,627,696],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-49285","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-mmc-news","7":"tag-affordable-housing","8":"tag-construction","9":"tag-housing-crisis","10":"tag-modern-methods-of-construction","11":"tag-modular-construction","12":"tag-offsite-construction"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
