Modular housing developer, ilke Homes<\/a> has safely completed a development in Leeds and has continued to work on six other sites across England, as its factory production helps minimise Covid-19 risks<\/h2>\n

The modular homes<\/a> are manufactured in a factory setting, meaning that minimal work is needed once it arrives on site. This allows completion to take days \u2013 not weeks and enables work to be finished safely while fully respecting all social distancing and safety rules.<\/p>\n

ilke Homes can restart delivery immediately with minimal workers on site, meaning that developers and housing associations can deliver homes faster and safer than through traditional methods of construction.<\/p>\n

The company delivers modules by road to sites fully-complete with kitchens, bathrooms and interiors, before being craned into their final position.<\/p>\n

With utilities and foundations pre-installed, the houses are connected within a matter of hours with minimal labour, ensuring social distancing<\/a> is maintained.<\/p>\n

\"Modular<\/a>In just three days in April, ilke Homes safely installed four homes onsite at Wykebeck, Leeds.<\/p>\n

The modular housing developer is continuing work on six other sites across Leeds, Derbyshire, Wakefield, Kent, Cumbria and London which will be completed in May and June.<\/p>\n

Additionally, ilke Homes\u2019 new land and partnership team, which is headed up by former Crest Nicholson Midlands managing director Ben Miller, has made three land acquisitions that will see the development of 205 homes across Derbyshire, Gloucestershire and Hereford.<\/p>\n

The company has also been proactively refining and improving the technology that it employs at its 250,000 sq ft factory in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. This technology will ensure the safety of ilke Homes\u2019 employees, eliminating any personal contact while maintaining the efficient production of homes.<\/p>\n

Build resilience<\/h3>\n

Dave Sheridan, executive chairman at ilke Homes, said:\u00a0\u201cWe have had to make adjustments to ensure we can follow safety guidelines and protect our staff, but because homes manufactured in a factory can arrive to site fully-finished, we have been able to keep working and minimise delays.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffsite manufacturing<\/a> is the safest and most effective means of building new homes in line with the government\u2019s guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now turning our attention to the long-term, as we look to build resilience into the industry by delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes safely and at speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be essential to the post-Covid recovery phase, and we want to be working with the government and partners across the industry to rapidly kickstart the country\u2019s housebuilding mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
