Bellway Selects ilke Homes

Construction News Image
ilke Homes has been chosen by housebuilder Bellway to deliver the FTSE 250 company's first modular homes.

The partnership will see ilke Homes deliver 40 factory-built homes on a site in Milton Keynes. Branded Tattenhoe Park, the wider scheme will comprise 160 homes built from steel and timber framed homes as part of a pilot project being led by Homes England.

Homes England's pilot projects are delivering 1,800 homes across the country as part of a study into the benefits of MMC. These include improved quality and energy efficiency, and a reduction in construction waste. A recent report from the House of Lords’ Built Environment Committee suggested factory-built housing will be instrumental in speeding up development across the UK.

It is the first time ilke Homes and Bellway have partnered to deliver homes in the UK, with the modular housing pioneer already having signed a number of other deals with some of the country’s biggest house builders.

ilke Homes will be delivering a mix of two, three and four bedroom homes for Bellway, for both affordable and open market tenures.

Savills estimates that the proportion of homes built using MMC over the next decade will double from today’s 10 percent to closer to 20 percent.

Bellway is due to start work on site in March, with ilke Homes expected to deliver the first homes in August.
