We are proud to be partnering with West Lothian College in the 2024/2025 Academic Year. And in the first of many planned engagement activities with the further and higher education provider, we recently paid a knowledge-sharing visit to The Alex Linkston Skills Centre for Sustainable Living. This college-run facility is situated adjacent to our 49-unit housing development for West Lothian Council at Almondvale Crescent, Livingston. Over the course of the next year we will be welcoming students on site for work experience placements, site progress visits and will even host students for a tour of our 120,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, where they can see the Almondvale Crescent houses under construction in our factory. We look forward to returning to the college again next month, when we will deliver a guest lecture on Modular Construction. #modularhomes #mmc #modularconstruction #modularbuild #communityengagement Hub South East Scotland Limited
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.

Construction Begins in Penicuik... This week saw the groundbreaking ceremony at Windsor Square, Penicuik, marking construction commencement of 12 modern energy-efficient cottage flats to be made available for social rent. Jennifer Higgins, CEO at Connect Modular, said, "We’re delighted to be working with Ark People Housing Care to deliver these 12 cottage flats using our volumetric modern method of construction. Modular construction not only elevates build quality but also expedites the availability of homes for occupancy and overcomes challenging logistical brownfield sites like Windsor Square. The incorporation of this forward-thinking approach by Ark Housing Association represents a significant leap forward in advancing construction practices". #modularconstruction #modularhomes #modularbuild #MMC #Offsitemanufacturing #offsiteconstruction #offsite #affordablehousing #housingnews

This week we welcomed MSP Willie Coffey to our manufacturing facility, where he gained invaluable insights into the world of modular construction. During his visit, Willie had the opportunity to witness firsthand the construction of the 12 cottage flats for Ark People Housing Care and the ongoing work on the 49 units for West Lothian Council, in collaboration with Hub South East Scotland Limited. Willie expressed his admiration for the use of modern methods of construction employed in our factory, highlighting the innovative approach we are taking towards addressing the housing needs of our communities. #modularconstruction #modularbuild #MMC #modularhomes #offsiteconstruction #offsitemanufacturing #offsite #affordablehomes
