This is the second of seven posts on our 2020 project targets, and covers new-build public housing using system build or modern methods of construction. These projects are delivered via design & build construction contracts, and are sometimes referred to as ‘rapid delivery or volumetric’. This programme is delivered by City Architects Team 3, who manage external architect led consultant design teams and design & build contractors. City Architect in-house engineers manage project site investigation and site enabling works. The current programme focuses on apartment developments which is more complex than system-build two-storey housing. Construction has commenced on 256 homes on four sites, and designs are being prepared for further developments.
