Max factory

Article Abstract:

Britspace is making volumetric two-storey semi-detached houses which can be erected on site within two weeks using six to eight workers. It is predicted the cost of the houses will not be more than houses made by traditional methods. The initiative is being tested against the standards set by Egan. Britspace has been working with a number of bodies to develop their new housebuilding system. The new houses had to meet the requirements of the housing association Guinness Trust, who plan to build 50 houses during the next 12 months, and have sufficient design appeal for house builders Wimpey.

Gizmo heaven

Article Abstract:

Electronic gadgets or gizmos are expected to become the most effective marketing tool for the British housebuilder in the sale of new homes. Companies such as British Telecom and Microsoft gathered at The Living Home 96 conference and exhibition to talk to housebuilders about the added value that these gadgets can achieve. Information technology should be considered when the home is being designed so that the available space can be used effectively to suit the future needs of the British population.

Tenants' extra

Article Abstract:

There has been very strong interest from potential clients in the 18 homes which Quality Street is offering for rent in Stirling, Scotland. It has recently stated that rents achieved for a two-bedroom apartment are 20% higher than average, but admits that even these rent levels cannot necessarily ensure an acceptable yield. The company is looking to refine the rental product, seeking design and marketing inspiration from the hotel industry.
