Massive improvement in quality of life, say new tenants

27th May 2021Tenants of new council flats met Councillor Cameron Geddes from the Barking and Dagenham Council this week to show off their new homes in Sugden Way in Barking. Rollalong delivered 13 new modular homes as part of a development managed by Be First for Barking and Dagenham Council. Councillor Geddes, Cabinet Member for Social Housing and Regeneration, said: “It’s great to meet Pam and Dan and see them settle into their new homes. “I am very impressed with the quality of the homes and, because they were largely built offsite, we were able to house tenants such as Pam and Dan more quickly than we would have done if we used traditional build methods.” Pam and her partner Dan and their two young boys moved into their new three-bedroom home in the spring from a two-bedroom flat in Barking. Pam and Dan said: “We love our new home. Our old home was too small for us and the space we have now is great for us and our two boys. Our home is really well made. Moving here is a massive improvement in our quality of life.” The homes include a one-bedroom flat, nine two-bedroom flats and three three-bedroom flats. Sam Parry, Construction Manager at Be First, said: “We’re very pleased to see the tenants enjoying their new council home. The use of modular technology is proving crucial in our mission to build thousands of top-quality homes for local people at rents they can afford.”

29th March 2021

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve completed our latest turnkey residential project, delivering 13 new modular council-owned homes in Barking, East London.

We manufactured the new homes at our factory in Dorset and installed them on Sugden Way in Barking as part of a development managed by Be First for Barking and Dagenham Council. The development is our latest successful housing project, but we also specialise in manufacturing buildings offsite for the defence, health and education sectors.

“We’re extremely pleased to have completed this residential scheme which now provides a range of high-quality, affordable homes for people in Barking and Dagenham,” said Construction Manager Clive Harris (pictured right on site with Elliot Fenwick, Senior Site Manager).

“Like many parts of the UK, Barking and Dagenham suffers from a shortage of housing, and our modular approach offers local authorities a chance to address this shortfall in around half the time of a traditional build.

“Modular offsite construction also significantly reduces disruption to the neighbouring properties during the project.”

Be First Construction Manager Sam Parry said: “We’re really pleased to say that in spite of the coronavirus we’ve delivered 13 new affordable homes for the council in a fraction of the time a traditional build would take.

“More importantly, the standard is excellent, which means top-quality new homes for local people that will stand the test of time.”

The new homes include a one-bedroom flat, eight two-bedroom flats and four three-bedroom flats.

The modules were transported to the site and lifted into position and connected together over a five-day period, after which the internal and external finishing process commenced.

Internal finishing times on site were greatly reduced as the modules were approximately 80% complete before they were installed.

Sugden Way is the first of two developments we’re creating in Barking and Dagenham; we will also be delivering a three-storey apartment block featuring six individual apartments at Mellish Close.

The Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council described 13 new modular council owned homes delivered by Rollalong in Barking as “marvellous” following a tour of a show flat this week.

Councillor Darren Rodwell said: “There’s a myth that modular homes are just a cheap type of prefab, but from what I have seen here today at Sugden Way, nothing could be further from the truth.

“These new flats look absolutely marvellous and will provide well built, top-quality homes for local people.”

The new homes were manufactured in a controlled manufacturing environment in our factory in Dorset and are being installed in Sugden Way, Barking, as part of a development managed by Be First for Barking and Dagenham Council.

“At Be First we’re embracing the latest technology to build top-quality new homes fast and deliver them at rents the people of Barking and Dagenham can afford,” said Iain Ferguson, Commercial Director at Be First.

Clive Harris, Construction Manager at Rollalong, said: “This is a very exciting project which will provide a range of high-quality, affordable housing for people in Barking and Dagenham, and we’re delighted with our progress so far.

“There is a shortage of housing in the borough and our modular alternatives to traditional construction offer a real opportunity to address the shortfall in approximately half the time.”

The new homes, which feature one one-bed flat, eight two-bed flats and four three-bed flats, will be completed next month.

The modules were transported to the site and lifted into position and connected together over a five-day period, after which the internal and external finishing process commenced.

Internal finishing times on site were greatly reduced as the modules were approximately 80 per cent complete prior to installation.

The process provides a high-quality building with excellent energy efficiency while minimising disruption to the local environment during the construction process. The façade of the building was constructed traditionally in brick to match similar buildings in the area.
