Four new modular homes have been craned into place at Parson Cross in Sheffield, to deliver affordable rent across the city<\/h2>\n

The modular homes have been precision engineered in a quality-controlled factory environment in Yorkshire using a light gauge steel frame<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The properties will look and feel like a traditionally built house, with a brick exterior and a pitched roof. They will also offer excellent environmental performance.<\/p>\n

Provided as part of the council\u2019s ambitious Stock Increase Programme, targeted at delivering 3,100 additional new council homes by 2029, this small-scale scheme will test Modern Methods of Construction<\/a> (MMC).<\/p>\n

Each modular home is a four-bedroomed family house built on Knutton Crescent at Parson Cross, an area where there is an identified need for this type of affordable home.<\/p>\n

The first step into MMC<\/h3>\n

Councillor Paul Wood, cabinet member for neighbourhoods and community safety at Sheffield City Council<\/a>, said: \u201cOur aim is to build more quality, warm and affordable homes where they are most needed across the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they look rather impressive and it\u2019s interesting to see how the homes come together as they are lifted on to site and installed with speed and precision.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to asking people what they think of how they look and importantly what it feels like living in a house like this, when families take residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, we\u2019ll be fully assessing the benefits and opportunities that homes like this could bring to the city to see if more of them should be built.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our first step into MMC for new council homes<\/a> we have intentionally started small. We hope that building homes in this way in the future on a larger scale will help deliver wider benefits including cost reductions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be learning from this project, assessing what these homes are like to manage and maintain and how we would do things differently if there are further phases.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty exciting being a city that welcomes innovation, whilst offering affordable and efficient living, to those who most need a council home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Future housing delivery<\/h3>\n

Amanda Grimbleby, partnerships and business development director at M-AR Off-Site<\/a>, said: \u201cWe are extremely proud to be working in partnership with Sheffield City Council to deliver their first MMC affordable homes in the City.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe homes at Knutton Crescent are built to high quality standards and are extremely air-tight, significantly reducing heat loss and reducing fuel bills for families.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with the Sheffield City Council team has been absolutely great, they are not only a collaborative authority but they are also very forward-thinking and could lead the way housing delivery is approached in the future, ensuring that much needed affordable homes are provided quicker, to high-quality standards which are more efficient, greener and sustainable for generations to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a pleasure to be involved in this project, and for me the real success here is not just the homes we have delivered in a short timescale, but the fact we have been able to progress the construction of the homes in our factory during the Covid-19 pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have achieved here is a credit not only to the M-AR team but also to Sheffield City Council who we have worked closely with throughout the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a team effort to do this, so thank you to all for your proactive approach in making this happen for the city of Sheffield.\u201d<\/p>\n
