Work is underway on a large-scale affordable housing development in Bridgehousehill, Kilmarnock.
The £17million project will see a mixture of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom general needs houses constructed, together with ten amenity bungalows and five wheelchair bungalows.
Located in the Shortlees neighbourhood of East Ayrshire, the new project of 101 affordable homes is being delivered by Cunninghame Housing Association in partnership with East Ayrshire Council, The Scottish Government and modular construction specialist Connect Modular Ltd.
Each of the 101 homes in this new development will be constructed inside Connect Modular’s Ayrshire-based manufacturing facility with kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing and electrics all pre-fitted. The houses will then be split into modules, transported to site and craned into position for the final 10% of building work to be completed.
Jennifer Higgins, Managing Director of Connect Modular said: “We are grateful for the opportunity to deliver a modular project at this scale. This project is a clear demonstration of Cunninghame, Scottish Government and the Council’s confidence in the ability of modular construction to provide better quality homes, to reduce construction waste and emissions, and to enable tenants to move in to their much-needed homes faster.”
