Mansfield\u2019s first modular council homes have begun arriving at the site on Rosemary Avenue to provide much-needed affordable homes for local families<\/h2>\n

The \u00a31.7m modular council homes scheme will see six two-bedroom and four three-bedroom homes go up over the next 20 weeks.<\/p>\n

The total cost of the project includes not just the homes themselves but also a new road, drainage and other services on the site.<\/p>\n

For the past few weeks Midlands construction company G F Tomlinson<\/a> has been preparing the site, ready for the modular homes<\/a> to be delivered.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ground-breaking pilot scheme\u2019<\/h3>\n

Councillor Marion Bradshaw, the council’s portfolio holder for housing, said: \u201cIt is great news, after delays due to the Covid situation, that these high quality and energy efficient new council homes are now going up.<\/p>\n

“This is a ground-breaking pilot scheme for the council as it is the first time we have used modular housing<\/a>, which reduces the build time and means we will be able to offer these much-needed affordable homes to local families a bit sooner than we would have done through traditional construction.<\/p>\n

“Being pre-made, as well as speeding up build times, also reduces the potential for defects as the construction of the homes is not subject to the weather.\u201d<\/p>\n

The homes are manufactured in a factory by ilke Homes<\/a> and delivered in large sections and pieced together on the site where the foundations, drainage and other services have already been put in place.<\/p>\n

They are then roofed and cladded on site, before external finishings are added to each property, including fenced boundaries, landscaped gardens, car parking and footpaths.<\/p>\n

Normally building ten homes would take about 28 weeks but it is hoped this can be reduced to 20 weeks by using modular construction<\/a>.\u00a0If everything goes to plan, the properties will be ready in October.<\/p>\n

Councillor Bradshaw added: “Although the speed of this kind of delivery has been compromised overall by the Covid situation, it should still mean the construction part is completed quicker than traditional methods.<\/p>\n

“If it goes well, we may well look at using this kind of housing again.”<\/p>\n

Mansfield modular housing<\/h3>\n

Craig Stopper, framework manager at G F Tomlinson, said: \u201cWe are pleased to be working on this critical modular housing development in Mansfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development is progressing well with our project teams and local supply chain partners quickly adapting to the new guidelines, introduced as a result of the pandemic, to ensure safe working and social distancing on site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are certainly seeing an increase in the demand for modular housing as an energy efficient, comprehensive solution for social housing<\/a>, which provides high-quality, affordable, easily accessible and adaptable accommodation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs modular sites are relatively unaffected by environmental delays, such as bad weather, less logistical transport is required for materials which is more environmentally friendly and generates less waste.\u201d<\/p>\n
