Legal & General, Modular Homes
Client: L&G Modular
The Problem
The development of low-cost, quick-to-market modular homes has become a priority for several of the country’s larger housebuilders, as increasing housing stock remains a pressing issue.
Meeting flood protection requirements can be challenging in modular construction, where retrofits are often costly and complex, and surface-level adjustments such as raising site levels may be required.
The Solution
By integrating state-of-the-art BS Kitemark™ certified flood products directly into the modular assembly, developers can ensure fast, quality-controlled installation while avoiding costly retrofits.
For L&G Modular, this approach included the factory installation of anti-flood airbricks and on-site deployment of Defender flood barriers for front and rear doors. This allowed the developer to meet planning requirements efficiently, without the need for expensive land infill or site-level adjustments, while ensuring robust and worry-free flood protection for future occupants.
