✍ #NewHomesInNewWays Case study highlight: Net-zero, modular housing at Fortis House, Ashford ZED PODS Limited and Ashford Borough Council (ABC) have unlocked an underused public car park to deliver a design-led social housing scheme using MMC (category 1). ❗ The Challenge: ABC faces an affordable housing crisis, with hundreds of homeless households in local hotels, and a huge increase in the cost of providing temporary accommodation in the last few years. 🏗️ The MMC Solution: The award-winning Fortis House project addresses critical social housing needs by unlocking a constrained site and championing digital construction, MMC and sustainability.  With an onsite programme lasting 12 months, the project was completed in half the time of traditional construction.
