Lovell Partnerships has appointed Mansell Building Solutions (MBS) as specialist MMC contractor for a new apartment development at Stonedale in Croxteth.
The four-storey scheme will deliver 27 new apartments and form a key component of the £20m Stonedale Regeneration Project masterplan, which aims to replace outdated housing stock with modern, energy efficient homes.
Mansell will deliver a panelised light gauge steel framing (LGSF) solution for the scheme, using its factory-first, off-site manufacturing capability. The scope includes the delivery of a Voestalpine Metsec structural frame, alongside fully finished internal structures incorporating drylining and fire stopping.
Martin Lynch, head of commercial at Mansell Building Solutions, said: “Regeneration projects like Stonedale demand a delivery approach that prioritises certainty from the outset. Our factory-first model allows key design and construction decisions to be locked in early, reducing risk and supporting a safer, more predictable build process on site.
“This project is a strong example of how modern methods of construction can support the delivery of high quality, affordable homes within established communities, and we are pleased to be working with Lovell Partnerships for the first time on such an important scheme.”
Tahreen Shad, regional partnerships director at Lovell Partnerships, added: “The Stonedale regeneration is an important investment in the future of the Croxteth community, delivering much-needed affordable homes as part of a wider neighbourhood transformation. Appointing a specialist MMC contractor like Mansell supports our focus on build quality, programme certainty and safe delivery. We are pleased to be working with Mansell on this scheme and look forward to developing a strong collaborative relationship.”
Pauline Allen, development manager at Cobalt Housing, said: “As part of our commitment to delivering high quality, future-ready homes, our team visited Mansell Building Solutions’ MMC factory in Chadderton to see their factory-first processes first hand. Understanding how the light gauge steel frames are designed, manufactured and quality checked in a controlled environment gave us real confidence in the approach being taken at Stonedale. MMC plays an important role in helping us achieve consistency, quality and programme certainty across our regeneration projects.”
