The initial modular homes have been craned into place at a new affordable housing development in Bolton by offsite specialists, ilke Homes<\/a><\/h2>\n

The new modular homes are a first for the Bolton area and offer 22 affordable family homes.<\/p>\n

The new development by Bolton at Home<\/a> was installed on land off Victory Road in Little Lever, after being constructed offsite.<\/p>\n

The development will provide 15 three-bedroom houses and 7 two-bedroom houses. They are the first modular houses to be installed in the Bolton area, which are constructed in a factory before being delivered and assembled on site.<\/p>\n

Precision-engineered modular homes<\/h3>\n

ilke Homes precision-engineers homes<\/a> along a production line, which allows the offsite manufacturer to cut delivery times in half while benchmarking quality at various stages of the build cycle.<\/p>\n

Thanks to improved airtightness, residents will be able to make long-term savings on heating bills \u2013 with all homes costing significantly less to run.<\/p>\n

By manufacturing offsite<\/a>, ilke Homes is also able to minimise disruption to local neighbours by easing congestion caused by construction traffic. All homes will be delivered to site on the back of a heavy goods vehicle and craned into place in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

The highly-insulated homes are made up of a lightweight steel frame and a brick and render finish. The ground floor, first floor and roof are delivered to site in separate completed sections.<\/p>\n

The sections are then put together and connected to electricity and water services. All homes comply with all usual building regulations and are backed by the same NHBC Build Mark warranty that traditional homes offer.<\/p>\n

The homes are then completed on-site by main contractor and regeneration specialist, ENGIE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New neighbourhood in Little Lever<\/h3>\n

Paul Philbin, head of development and home ownership at Bolton at Home, said: \u201cThis new neighbourhood in Little Lever will help dozens of families to move into affordable, energy-efficient and high-quality homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstalling modular homes at this scale is a first for Bolton and we\u2019re proud to be embracing these modern methods of construction which can help us deliver more affordable homes for local people while reducing the disruption as much as possible to other neighbours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steven Gregory, head of new build at ENGIE, commented: \u201cENGIE has a lot of experience, working across both traditional and modular housing schemes and we\u2019re delighted to bring our expertise to this project.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffsite manufacturing and on-site construction techniques provide a modern approach to house building that enables the energy-efficient homes to be built and installed quicker than traditional methods.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pleased to welcome the units to site and start overseeing the next stage, of turning these houses into homes and helping to provide a new, modern community in Bolton.\u201d<\/p>\n

First-ever modular homes in Bolton<\/h3>\n

Dave Sheridan, executive chairman at ilke Homes, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to be delivering the first-ever modular homes in Bolton. As the government commits to tackling the UK\u2019s housing crisis by delivering one million new homes within the next five years, offsite manufacturing will play a vital role.<\/p>\n

\u201cModern methods offer central government, local authorities and housing associations like Bolton at Home with an affordable way of delivering high-quality, sustainable homes at pace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development is part of Bolton at Home\u2019s plans to introduce 1,400 new properties to the local affordable housing market over the next five years to help meet demand.<\/p>\n

The modular homes are expected to be completed by March 2020.<\/p>\n
