The building is the largest of its kind in the South East and has proved so popular that residents were moved in immediately on the day of handover.

A spokesperson for Swan Housing Group commented that “Swan were delighted with the levels of cooperation and commitment shown by ILG in the development of this scheme”, whilst a Swan Accommodation Officer was “very impressed with the quality and size of the apartments” and thought that the kitchens and bathrooms “are of really good design for this type of development”.

Bridge Point is the first of many such developments that ILG is constructing in partnership with Housing Associations and these 41 apartments are the first of some 300 that will be completed within the next two years.

Working primarily within the Thames Gateway and the Olympic Zone, ILG are passionate about the provision of affordable homes and are constantly looking for sites that are suitable for the ILG method of construction.

BRIDGE POINT LAUNCHES WITH HIGH LEVEL APPROVAL

Bridge Point, the revolutionary new modular housing development for key workers in Hornchurch (Essex) was opened on Monday 18 July by Canda Smith, Head of Urban Design and Sustainable Buildings at the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM).

Canda Smith said: “I am very pleased to open this innovative development which is providing good quality homes for keyworkers while helping us to meet the brown field development targets. I am also delighted that Inner London Group will continue to use this modular building technique on other sites as it is a highly efficient way of delivering new homes”

With 41 apartments Bridge Point is the largest key worker development in London and the south east. They are all earmarked for nurses and junior doctors. Bridge Point is a remarkable building because it was completed in less than six months using modular building techniques. Normal build time on a project of this size would be 15 months.

Mark Farrier, a partner in the Inner London Group, commented: “When we went into the project we believed that modular technology would save time and money and allow for high quality design and build, and this has proved to be correct. Modular build is simply quicker than traditional build, which obviously converts to cost savings and less expensive housing. It’s also planner friendly, as well as environmentally friendly. The net result is a stunning housing development to serve the needs of key workers in our local community.”

The event was attended by the Right Honorable Angela Watkinson, MP for Upminster and the Right Honorable Andrew Rosindell MP for Romford along with the leader of the Havering council Michael White. They were joined by senior councilors, including Alby Tebbutt, Eric Munday and Eileen and Ivor Cameron.
