Essex-based housebuilder Weston Homes has taken possession of a 180,000 sqft factory facility in Great Notley. The company is set to produce 4,000 light steel frame homes per year which will be used to supply their own and other developer's projects.
Weston Homes has been based in Braintree since 2019, delivering bathroom pods and lightweight steel external panel systems which can be fitted within concrete frame structures. Production of the panel systems - UniPanel, UniWall and UniHouse - will now move to the Great Notley site, expanding their production capacity significantly. The firm has invested £6.5 million in robotic technology made by experts in automation solutions, Randek for the assembly of the systems.
Weston Chairman and CEO, Bob Weston said: "The production line in the new British Offsite factory has been installed with the ambition for the facility to be fully operational this month.
