2018 Full Year Results

Investing long-term to fix the housing market

Modular housing has the potential to help solve the housing crisis. But starting a modular homes business from scratch takes significant capital, and it won’t bring immediate returns. It takes patient investment.

Legal & General’s backing has given us the freedom to approach modular building in a brand-new way.

The freedom to get the right processes, quality and capacity in place. To partner to create sustainable communities. And to realise the long-term potential of modular building for individuals, society, the economy and shareholders alike.
