Project Etopia and 4wall already have plans to scale up the facility in the future by adding more machines which will boost the number of homes possible to produce to 6,000<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/modular-building-small-developers\/51472\/\">Joseph Daniels, chief executive\u00a0of Project Etopia<\/a>, said: \u201cThis is an exciting and important milestone for us that will help us achieve our ambition to produce 21,500 eco-modular homes by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a critical time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/housebuilding-rates-increase\/53010\/\">housebuilding in the UK<\/a> with homes still not being built quickly enough, locking millions of people out of the property market.
