Using modern methods of construction (MMC) to develop social housing really is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
The South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) is encouraging smaller social landlords across the South and South West to take advantage of MMC to provide high-quality, energy-efficient homes for their residents.
Working in partnership with Dorchester-based Magna Housing and Wiltshire Council, SWPA has published a simple guide called Easy as 1, 2, 3.
The guide highlights the proven route to procurement and delivery via SWPA and explains how the Magna Housing portfolio of homes can be customised and adapted to meet the local context and the requirements of the people who will live in them.
It also sets out how clients can achieve efficient delivery and cost savings by placing a bulk order.
SWPA is an expert in public sector procurement and offers free-to-use frameworks.
Magna Housing has 100 modular homes manufactured for delivery by Rollalong across Dorset.
Wiltshire Council was the first to see the value in working in partnership and using a ready-made portfolio to prove the concept of offsite manufacture – which is why it was the first to join the cluster.
