As the leading partner of the Enabling housing for inclusive Project, YTKO is working with Bristol Housing Festival, Bristol City Council and 9 modular housing providers to examine how using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) can provide a solution to the current housing crisis by providing reduced production costs and increased speed of delivery.
The project will run across nine developments in the city. As part of this project, YTKO have developed ‘Constructing Modern Methods’ (CMM), a digital tool for local authorities that will allow users to optioneer against a database of modular housing developers; to understand which modular construction systems, organisations and performance options will best suit to the need of a site and local authority strategy.
Phil Stott, Head of Construction and Sustainability at YTKO says
“Having the opportunity to lead such an exciting and innovative partnership is very exciting for YTKO. We’ve been delivering construction projects in Bristol for years and working with the council to unlock MMC innovation is an important step to overcoming the UK housing crisis. Jobs for local people, lower energy costs, quicker builds and more affordable housing are all possible thanks to this funding from Innovate UK.”
