Progress on site

February 2021

Innovative offsite manufacturing is speeding up Perry Barr’s residential scheme build by making it possible for around 20 bathroom ‘pods’ to be installed each day. This has saved weeks of traditional work involving multiple trades, reduced the carbon footprint and supported stringent Covid-19 compliance. Read more on the Wilmott Dixon website.
