The speed is generated by using manual lifting rather than cranes, which slow other providers down.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/modular-village-commuters\/50270\/\">47-home development<\/a>, comprised of 31 houses and 16 apartments, is being built at Priors Hall Park. The homes will be equipped with Etopia\u2019s E-Smart technology, giving owners the power to control lighting, blinds, heating and more. They will also have an earth energy bank\/GeoStore system which stores heat energy while batteries store electricity.<\/p>\n<p>The homes\u2019 exterior shells were constructed in a factory and transported to the modular commuter village, ensuring a speedy build. The panels can withstand winds of up to 462mph and their U-value is 0.13 compared with a U-value in excess of 0.16 for a typical well-insulated wall in a new build brick property.<\/p>\n<p>Community interest company <a href=\"http:\/\/www.electriccorby.co.uk\/\">Electric Corby<\/a> laid out its ambition for energy self-sufficient homes on the site in 2013, and gained planning permission in 2016, but getting the building industry to meet the eco standards proved to be a colossal task.<\/p>\n<p>Project Etopia stepped in to buy the site in 2018 and started the groundwork in December last year. The project has been chosen as one of five Building for 2050 research projects funded by the Department for Business, Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Daniels, CEO of Project Etopia, said: \u201cThese homes have shot out of the ground. It\u2019s an immensely proud moment because these are the first non-demonstration homes that we have built and they were ahead of schedule and on budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re a wonderful example of how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/modular-building-small-developers\/51472\/\">modular building<\/a> will provide luxury, desirable homes for everyone with cost, labour and time savings keeping prices at an affordable level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the build local residents have been remarking how they\u2019d return from work and be amazed by how much progress had been made in just a day. Development of the remaining 43 units will follow rapidly behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/modular-construction-news\/coventry-modular-construction\/54204\/\">housing crisis<\/a> is keeping many trapped in a cycle of renting and only by rapidly accelerating housebuilding can policy-makers ensure this changes. These homes are the solution to that problem and the future of housebuilding in Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-55607 size-full\"

We\u2019re sure she\u2019d like that. With a BA in English and Journalism, Steph isn\u2019t fazed by attention to detail; on the contrary, she enjoys getting her teeth into a good article. In her downtime Steph loves nothing more than getting together with friends to enjoy a few (several) gin and tonics. Think you\u2019ve got some content Steph would be interested in?
