Video: watch three offsite homes being built over just two days
Three offsite homes were built in just two days outside the Housing 2018 conference and exhibition in Manchester last month. Watch our timelapse video below to see them being built
Delegates at Housing 2018 – the Chartered Institute of Housing’s annual conference and exhibition – last week visited an offsite village of homes assembled and built hours before the conference opened.
The homes were built by Ilke Homes and the Central Housing Investment Consortium. A fourth home was built inside the venue.
The components of the homes were assembled in five hours.
