20 new modular homes have been craned into place in Barking and Dagenham to house local homeless people<\/h2>\n

The 20 two-bedroom modular homes will be finished off by Jerram Falkus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They are situated at a former garage site in Wivenhoe Road, Barking.<\/p>\n

Councillor Saima Ashraf, deputy leader and cabinet member for community leadership and engagement, said: \u201cThese new homes will be for local families who are on our council waiting list and are yet to be given a permanent home, so they can still remain in the borough and close to family and friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy using the latest modular technology<\/a> we can build at pace so we can put a roof over their heads more quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Cameron Geddes, cabinet member for regeneration and social housing, commented: \u201cThe housing situation is not getting any easier in these current times and now more than ever it\u2019s so important we deliver quality housing more quickly to house local families.\u201d<\/p>\n

New homes built in record time<\/h3>\n

Martin Andvik, construction manager at Be First<\/a>, said: \u201cThe use of modern modular construction has allowed for these new homes to be built and delivered in record time, matching the council\u2019s ambition to provide homes for people in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter Bowtell, Jerram Falkus\u2019 construction director, added: \u201cIt is great to see the delivery of the first units at Wivenhoe Road, our second modular housing<\/a> project for Be First and Barking and Dagenham.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy using offsite construction we are able to deliver these new homes faster and more efficiently to the client, on what would be a challenging site to develop using standard construction methods.\u201d<\/p>\n

The modular homes are due to be completed in February 2021.<\/p>\n
