Work underway on new modular Greenwich homes
After some time of inactivity the first modular elements of a new council housing project in Greenwich have been laid.
Greenwich councillors were in attendance to highlight progress n the scheme which is set to provide 32 homes at the former site of Sam Manners House.
The proposal was approved two years ago with homes set to assist with homeless household numbers which have more than doubled in four years to over 1,600.
The council’s housing waiting list is also above 20,000.
Modules are made off-site by Modpods and installed by contractor Elkins Construction.
The project is set to complete early in the new year.
Adverts are far from enough to cover living costs and and pay to keep it going with hosting fees, URL fees and Theme costs adding into the hundreds of pounds.

It seems it is a very slow process, it was supposed to have been finished already but they have only put down 3 small pieces, out of about 30. Let’s see how great these modular pieces really are.
Modular homes previously known as prefabs (pre-fabricated buildings were widely used after the war to ease the housing crisis and replace homes that was bombed in the blitz. They can make great little homes and with modern heating systems and energy efficient windows and doors can be cosy little homes.
