Intrastack, part of the worldwide Saint-Gobain group and a leader in Light Steel Frame (LSF) solutions, has announced that it is working with offsite specialists, ECO-SPACE. The collaboration will bring multi-storey, multi-occupancy, LSF buildings to the Channel Islands, and represents a significant step towards enhancing the offsite construction offerings in the region.
The move comes as the housing crisis was listed as one of the main priorities by Guernsey’s Policy and Resources Committee in their recently published Government Work Plan. Similarly, a need for more affordable housing was discussed in Jersey’s Justice and Home Affairs Objective Assessment of Housing Need Report, where it was advised larger, mixed developments were needed.
Both Guernsey and Jersey struggle to provide affordable housing to residents, in part due to high costs associated with building on the Islands. This is where offsite construction can provide a solution. Familiar with the issues surrounding supply and affordability, both Intrastack and ECO-SPACE have a wealth of experience within residential construction. Between them, expertise extends to various building types, encompassing everything from customised single-family homes to large-scale multi-storey developments.
Together, Intrastack and ECO-SPACE aim to usher in an era of cost-effective and resilient multi-storey, multi-occupancy developments in the Channel Islands. By leveraging their expertise in LSF offsite solutions, they hope to deliver unparalleled certainty in design, quality and construction timelines.
Commenting on the joint-venture, Andy Higson, Business Director, at Intrastack said; “We are really pleased to work with ECO-SPACE, a company known for its commitment to quality construction. Together, we aim to provide the Channel Islands with quality, affordable housing, through multi-storey, multi-occupancy buildings using LSF solutions. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to redefine construction standards and provide innovative solutions that will accelerate the pace of residential house building. We look forward to delivering exceptional results and optimising construction across the Channel Islands.”
