Offsite construction firm Optima Homes has won a £20m contract
to supply a housing association with 1,000 homes.
The company will finalise a deal next month to supply social housing firm Home Group for the next three years.
Optima is a joint venture between Pace Timber Systems and architect Cartwright Pickard. The company is to double its floorspace to 7,000m2 with a new manufacturing site in Milton Keynes.
Pace managing director Phil Key said Home Group's contractors will be instructed to use the firm's panel systems in certain houses.
He added that the firm was also involved in a four-flat trial for Jarvis Contracting.
The company makes a closed wall panel system, which is delivered to site with pre-installed drylining, insulation, conduits, doors and windows.
Key said: "We have used standard materials onsite and brought them into the factory."
He said the firm can erect a three-bedroom house in one day.
