7 Homes in Coventry built for Orbit housing association using factory-built timber frame panels (featured on page 18) Hyde and modular construction David Gannicott, Group Director of Business Development, The Hyde Group We believe that modern methods of construction, in the form of modular or offsite building, has the scope to reduce build costs and improve quality standards. Hyde has ambitions to deliver at least one such scheme during 2015/16. Given the shortage of labour skills especially in London and the South East, we are keen to work with contractors using modern methods of construction, especially on low cost rented or schemes for the private rented sector. In fact, we have designed our new contractor framework to encourage modern methods of construction. We are delighted to be working with The Housing Forum in its research to promote modern methods of construction as we believe that all of the economic factors are in place to make it a success this time round.
