We’re excited to share that Boutique Modern has officially been recertified as a B Corp.   First certified in 2021, this year’s re-assessment brought outstanding results: our verified score increased by nearly 40%, reaching an impressive 120.3!   Looking ahead, we’re focused on driving even greater improvements in our workers and community scores, with our next Impact Report due early next year.   A huge thank you to our incredible team, partners, and customers for making this possible.   Read the full news story here: https://lnkd.in/ewjtjViN   Thinking about embarking on your own B Corp journey?

We’re delighted to be partnering with Mohsin Cooper Architecture & Planning on this exciting scheme with Lewes District and Eastbourne Borough Councils to transform old garage sites into much-needed affordable homes.   We specialise in bringing small local sites like these back to life, building homes in neighbourhoods that need them most. The recent Budget’s £68m extension to the Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLRF) means more opportunities for projects like this – and the chance to create even more affordable housing on disused garage sites across the country. #AffordableHousing

The results are in, it's official… our homes emit 10 times less CO² than traditional builds.     We’re on a mission to build a healthier future for people and the planet. We don’t just aim to improve our own practices – we aim to be a lead by example to spark change within the construction industry.     That’s why we’re excited to share the results of our recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), conducted by Metsims Sustainability Consulting     The findings shows that our MH24 2-bedroom model home emits just 39kg of CO² per m²/year - that’s 2.8 tons per year for a 2-bedroom home. In comparison, traditional brick-built houses in the UK produce 10 times more emissions.    The LCA looked at our home across its entire 60-year Design lifespan, covering every stage from material sourcing and transport to our Newhaven factory, through manufacturing, delivery and resident use.      We’re not stopping there. With these insights, we’re already working with our design and procurement teams to reduce our carbon footprint even further, exploring ways to streamline supply chains and use even more sustainable materials, to enable a Net Zero future.   Read the full LCA report here – and let us know your thoughts.

We were encouraged to see the promises made around housing in the lead-up to the Budget kept last week. We believe the extension to both the Affordable Homes Programme and the Brownfield Land Release Fund (BLRF) will continue to make an impact. Our clients use this money to regenerate disused brownfield sites and create affordable homes, exactly what’s needed at a time when access to quality housing is more critical than ever. We feel this Budget is a promising step forward for the sector and strengthens our ability to contribute meaningfully to solving the UK’s housing shortage, and we are hopeful for more to come from the Spending Review in spring to deliver the government's promise of 1.5m new homes. #AffordableHousing #Modular #Budget Dick Shone Lucas Shone https://lnkd.in/emrTsDkq

Meet one of our Partner Architects; Mohsin Cooper Architecture & Planning. We’re keen to team up with more architects to deliver their vision with our flexible and expert modular build system. We recently caught up with Abe Mohsin, director of Mohsin Cooper, to find out more about his favourite buildings, solutions for the housing shortage, the reimagining of our towns and cities and why modular will play a vital role in delivering homes. Abe said: "I’ve always been impressed by Boutique Modern’s ethos, goals and social vision, which align closely with what we believe in here at Mohsin Cooper. “I believe volumetric modular is an important part of the housing crisis solution – and believe it’s equally important to find a solution which is sustainable, efficient and minimises waste.” To find out more about working with us and to read the full Q&A with Mohsin Cooper visit our website here: https://lnkd.in/ekNq4Se3 Dick Shone Lucas Shone #construction #AffordableHousing

Building a sustainable future — on land and at sea.   At Boutique Modern we're committed to creating beautiful, eco-friendly places for communities to thrive — both through the homes we build and the actions we take.   Last week our team took time out to complete another company-wide beach clean at a local beach in Seaford, collecting 20 bags of rubbish.    This clean-up is just one step in our ongoing journey to protect the planet, ensuring the same level of care and quality we bring to our housing designs is reflected in how we treat the world around us.   Head to our website to learn more about how we’re building a sustainable future: https://lnkd.in/eNsHMgFb #sustainability #construction Lucas Shone Dick Shone

We’re encouraged by the positive tone of this House of Lords debate and the constructive response from the minister. It's reassuring to see that modern methods of construction (MMC) are being recognised at the highest levels of government as a key component in addressing the UK’s housing challenges. Our commitment remains focused on the regeneration of brownfield sites across the country. We believe this is the most sustainable and efficient starting point, rather than navigating the complexities of converting green belt or grey belt land. By prioritising the revitalisation of these sites, we can make a real impact on housing supply without the need for extensive legislative changes.
