The Brief

Buckinghamshire Council awarded the contract to Premier Modular for the offsite construction of 58 apartments to provide facilities for vulnerable people and their families in urgent need of housing.

The project in the Desborough area of High Wycombe was an innovative partnership between principal contractor Premier and its delivery partner for the offsite construction of this sustainable residential scheme.

“I was delighted with the progress we saw on site, which has helped us to achieve our ambitious plans to provide more accommodation for families who are homeless. This project has increased the number of temporary homes in High Wycombe by 65 per cent, enabling us to meet the growing local need. The new accommodation brings people closer to local amenities such as transport facilities, GP surgeries and schools as well as other support services.”

“As a project manager for Buckinghamshire Council, I worked with Premier through the tender negotiations and oversaw the installation of the apartments on site. Their team was easy to work with at each stage, with a genuinely collaborative and transparent approach. The quality of Premier’s offsite building system and the apartments is very good and exactly as needed.”

We visited the site after the first few modules had been installed. It was exciting to see the progress and view the inside of one of the attractive and well-designed apartments. As a council, we are committed to exploring modern methods of construction and more innovative ways of delivering new housing. The use of an offsite solution for this scheme meant less disruption locally during the build programme, and the high standard of workmanship we saw on site.
