Up to 40 new homes are to be built on the site of the former Woodside’s Foodstore in Carrickfergus.The £6.2 million project is being delivered by Clanmil Housing Group and will be the first social homes in Northern Ireland delivered using off-site construction.Each new home will be built using a number of steel-framed modules, being manufactured and fully fitted-out by McAvoy at its Lisburn factory, before being craned into position on site.The modules will be delivered to the Carrickfergus site complete with kitchens, bathrooms, windows, flooring and decorated walls, ready to be brought together to create modern, high quality homes. Using off-site construction will help reduce the build time for the Carrickfergus development by 56 weeks compared to traditional site-based building methods, delivering 40 new homes in just nine months. Completion is scheduled for spring 2019.
