Building Better, the National Housing Federation<\/a>-supported alliance of 29 housing associations and local authorities has appointed three manufacturers to deliver its first offsite homes framework<\/h2>\n

Procurement for Housing and Building Better have signed up ilke Homes<\/a>, Impact Modular<\/a> and TopHat<\/a> to the offsite homes framework which is worth up to \u00a3600m over five years.<\/p>\n

Social housing providers will be able to procure pre-manufactured 3D construction systems for both houses and apartments through the deal.<\/p>\n

Over 185,000 homes are managed by the 29 housing associations and local authorities that make up Building Better. Initially, they will build at least 800 new offsite homes via the framework with a further 4,500 properties to be produced using modern methods of construction<\/a> before 2026.<\/p>\n

The three successful manufacturers have been appointed to the framework on a direct award basis. This means that housing associations and local authorities won\u2019t need to go through any additional tender process. It is estimated that this contracting approach will save each housing provider around \u00a315,000 in procurement costs alone.<\/p>\n

All of the offsite homes procured under the Building Better framework will meet the government\u2019s \u2018zero carbon ready\u2019 Future Homes Standard<\/a>, they will take a \u2018fabric first’ approach \u2013 prioritising insulation ahead of add-ons like solar panels, they will meet nationally described space standards and have the option to be wheelchair accessible.<\/p>\n

Offsite homes developed by Building Better members will also be certified by the Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme<\/a> and be assessed and accepted by building warranty provider the National House Building Council (NHBC).<\/p>\n

\u2018Early, honest partnership\u2019<\/h3>\n

Trina Chakravarti, project director of Building Better, said: \u201cIn the past, housing associations, local authorities and manufacturers have often gone through the MMC process alone \u2013 there is no aggregation of knowledge or resources, and mistakes are repeated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to change this through early, honest partnership working between social housing providers<\/a>, manufacturers and residents, sharing information and learning together to improve MMC and overcome traditional barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Malone, CEO at Procurement for Housing<\/a>, added: \u201cBy assessing the MMC market, narrowing the field and appointing just three manufacturers, our goal was to reduce much of the due diligence and procurement complexity that housing associations and local authorities often face around MMC.<\/p>\n

\u201cilke Homes, Impact Modular and TopHat all impressed us with their commitment to the collaborative ethos of this framework. For them, involving residents and working closely with housing providers is key to continually improving their MMC offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
