The Amphion Consortium, made up of associations from Hyde, Hastoe and Swale, has appointed Beazer preferred bidder to build 1000 new homes across the South-east. The programme will involve the prefabrication of panelled units in a bid to achieve higher-quality, zero-defect houses.
John Cadwallader, Beazer Group director for partnership, said the scheme would help the firm increase its market share in the South-east.
Ten other housing associations have expressed an interest in joining the consortium, which was set up to promote and facilitate innovation in housing design and construction.
