Offsite specialist Stewart Milne Timber Systems has formed a partnership to deliver timber frame for more than 1,500 homes for housing association L&Q.<\/p>\n
Stewart Milne,will also support L&Q on bids for standalone contracts in the open market.<\/p>\n
The deal forms a key part of L&Q\u2019s Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) strategy which will see all of its new build homes delivered with some form of MMC by 2025 and an entirely off-site manufactured home completed by 2028.<\/p>\n
L&Q has plans to build 100,000 homes over the next ten years.<\/p>\n
Fiona Fletcher-Smith, Group Director of Development and Sales at L&Q, said \u201cWe are excited to be collaborating with Stewart Milne Timber Systems on our modern methods of construction programme.<\/p>\n
“Off-site manufacturing offers a range of exciting opportunities, speeding up the delivery and build quality of our developments whilst reducing the costs of projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stewart Milne Timber Systems were selected after demonstrating their ability to design, manufacture, supply and erect residential units up to six storeys tall.<\/p>\n
Alex Goodfellow, Group Managing Director of Stewart Milne Timber Systems, said \u201cThis is an ambitious and innovative partnership which lays down a significant marker for how new homes can be built at pace and to exacting design standards.<\/p>\n
“This strategic alliance and collaboration will allow L&Q to deliver on a number of fronts and we believe they are setting the standard for how we should approach the housing shortfall across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
The closed-panel timber frame structures will initially be used in the construction of L&Q\u2019s new Counties developments at Birnam Mews, Tiddington and Saxon Reach, Milton Keynes, with the first deliveries in Spring 2019.<\/p>\n
L&Q\u2019s Academy will accompany this with investment in upskilling apprentices and staff in MMC techniques.<\/p>\n
