Modular & Low-Cost Housing Demand Grows In UK
Chapman Taylor recently unveiled what it describes as a "high-quality modular residential format" for the UK market. Using volumetric, off-site technology, Chapman Taylor is working with off-site manufacturer CIMC, and its patented modular system, to deliver 1-, 2- and 3-bed apartments within medium to high-rise developments. Chapman Taylor’s Interiors team worked closely with CIMC to create the concept design and full specification for the homes, which fully meet National Space Standards. Moreover the off-site method can help to reduce material waste by between 50% and 90%, compared to traditional construction methods. Modular buildings generate less heat and temperature, which contribute less to global warming. Chapman Taylor recently completed the refurbishment of the food hall at Nový Smíchov in Prague. The 7,200sqm hall hosts 22 food concepts, 15 of which are new. After Chapman Taylor unveils new modular residences, Gleeson Homes aims to complete the sale of 900 homes in the half year to December 31. Land continues to be available at sensible prices and the pipeline remains strong. Gleeson Homes has a land pipeline of 15,384 plots with a gross development value of £2.4 billion, of which 7,961 plots are owned and 7,423 are conditionally purchased. The division currently has 82 active build sites, compared with 80 active build sites this time last year and is actively selling on 60 sites, compared with 65 sites this time last year
