Connect Modular Becomes Associate Member Of SFHA

Construction News Image
Connect Modular has joined the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA), strengthening its collaboration with housing associations across Scotland.

Operating from its manufacturing facility in Cumnock, East Ayrshire, Connect Modular's construction team is currently delivering a 101-home development for Cunninghame Housing Association in Kilmarnock.

The firm has also recently completed modular developments for Riverside Scotland and North Ayrshire Council and has a number of upcoming contracts with various housing associations and councils throughout Scotland.

Modular construction has gained significant recognition for its efficiency, sustainability, and versatility, and for its potential to help meet the current critical demand for social housing in Scotland. This recognition is reflected in the Scottish Government's commitment to increasing the use of offsite construction in their Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) to help "address challenges including workforce demand and diversity, the need to reduce waste and increase energy efficiency, and improve quality while controlling cost pressures". It further states it will "continue to support proven approaches that balance improvements with value – and work with all across the housebuilding sector to achieve Scotland's net zero ambitions."

Becoming associate members of SFHA, Connect Modular aims to enhance its efficient construction methods and ensure the continued delivery of high-quality homes that are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and visually appealing.

Welcoming the new partnership, Craig Vesey, Business Development Manager at Connect Modular, said: "Becoming associate members of the SFHA is an exciting step for us. We look forward to working closely with the association and its members to shape the future of housing in Scotland. Our aim is to contribute innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of housing associations and communities across the country."
