About us
Connect Modular specialises in the provision of affordable modular homes for housing associations, local authorities and community trusts. Our homes are constructed off-site in our Ayrshire Manufacturing Facility, where they are completed to ceiling height and pre-fitted with kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing and electrics. The houses are then transported to site and craned into position where they are made wind and water-tight on the same day, allowing the final external works to be completed. Under most contracts, Connect Modular takes on the principal contractor role, managing all aspects of the project from design and statutory consents to manufacture of housing and construction of ground and site works. This ensures a single point of responsibility for affordable housing clients.

Earlier this month we had the privilege of delivering a guest lecture at West Lothian College on Modular Construction. During the session, we outlined the key elements of our modern method of construction and the many benefits of building in this way. We also took the opportunity to provide students with more information on the 49-unit affordable housing development we are currently delivering for West Lothian Council, just a few yards from the college. We were impressed by the interest and enthusiasm shown by all students and we look forward to welcoming them on site in the coming months to witness our innovative process at first hand! #modularconstruction #mmc #modularhomes #modularbuild #communitybenefits #communityengagement Hub South East Scotland Limited

Today, as the half-term holiday nears its end, Marketing Manager Lynsey Young brought son Findlay to work for a half-day shift. He quickly got to putting his creative skills to the test producing some fantastic new house designs for Design Manger, Andy Corrigan and Technical Manager, Gordon Seath. He then stepped out to conduct some quality checks in our factory, where he was impressed with the homes under construction for Ark People Housing Care and West Lothian Council. He may be less impressed with the wages his mum has in mind for him! #modularhomes #modularconstruction #MMC #affordablehousing #offsiteconstruction #offsitemanufacturing #offsite #juniorapprentice

We are delighted to announce the addition of Kevin Mullen to the Connect Modular team as our new site manager, overseeing the development site at Gilmour Avenue, Clydebank. In this role, Kevin will lead the construction of two three-bedroom houses for social rent for client West Dunbartonshire Council. With his extensive experience in site management, Kevin brings invaluable knowledge to our team. This project will transform a long term gap site and align Connect Modular’s fast and efficient, modular construction process with council owned land to deliver rapid action in response to the housing emergency declared by West Dunbartonshire Council in May 2024. Residents are expected to move into the new homes early 2025. #modularconstruction #modularhomes #modularbuild #MMC #offsitemanufacturing #offsiteconstruction #offsite #affordablehousing #sitemanager

We recently visited Strathesk Primary School in Penicuik, a short walk from Windsor Square where we’re currently delivering 12 new affordable cottage flats for Ark People Housing Care. We engaged with six classes, ranging from P1 to P7, discussing modular construction and presenting a fun challenge: to build structures using a range of materials such as spaghetti, marshmallows, building blocks, and magna tiles. The level of creativity displayed by the students was impressive and they all thoroughly enjoyed the activities. In addition, we provided offcut materials from our manufacturing facility to support the school’s STEM classroom activities. At Connect Modular, we place great importance on engaging with schools, and it is incredibly rewarding to witness the enthusiasm and learning that both students and teachers derive from these interactions. #modularconstruction #modularhomes #MMC #modularbuild #affordablehousing #offsiteconstruction #offsite #schoolengagement #communityengagement

New Project Announcement!
