First modular homes built

The first four homes for Scotland’s largest affordable modular housing development have been delivered to a site in ayrshire.

The important milestone was reached this week as the first 10 modules arrived on site at Kilmarnock Road, Dundonald and were craned into place.

These modules make up the first four homes comprising three two-bedroom houses and one four-bedroom property - the beginnings of a 63-strong affordable modular housing development, which is the very first of its kind in Scotland.

It’s understood the first homes will be ready for occupancy before the end of the year.

Connect Modular, a division of The Wee house Company, is working with Irvine housing association, part of the Riverside Group, to deliver the project.

Jennifer higgins, managing director at The Wee house, said: “We’re delighted to have delivered the first four houses to site, a great achievement for all involved, and we look forward to continuing the delivery of these houses in the coming weeks and months.

“We’re making great progress with this development and couldn’t have picked better weather for the delivery of our first modules to site.

“an exciting day for the people of Dundonald seeing these homes arriving by lorry and the almost instant transformation of the site.”

Paul hillard, managing director of Irvine housing association, added: “It’s a proud moment seeing the initial delivery of modules to the site.

“This is a very exciting project - our first in South ayrshire and our very first modular project - and will provide a range of high-quality, greener, affordable housing for people in the local area.”
