About Us.

Overview

Our Knaresborough factory, launched in November 2018, is expected to be operating at full capacity by 2023 and we have regional offices in London, Birmingham and Bristol.

We delivered the first volumetric housing system to gain NHBC Accepts and BOPAS 100 year durability and maintenance assessment and our factory automation project completed in May 2020. Our Homes England deal was the first government backed investment directly to a modular housing factory, with £60m funding to drive capacity. As a result of our successes over the last three years, we have created a pipeline that comprises over 3,000 homes. This is in addition to the sector defining deals we continue to lead on with some of the UK’s largest institutional investors, developers, housing associations and councils.

ilke Homes is proud to be accredited by BOPAS and NHBC Accepts. We were the first modular manufacturer to achieve the sought after NHBC system accreditation. This reassures our customers that our homes have the durability for two mortgage terms, required by mortgage lenders.

Innovation & Flexible Design

Our Concept

The delivery of housing through modern methods of construction (MMC) has been gaining significant momentum in the UK, with volumetric construction being by far the most advanced method over traditional approaches. The main advantage of using full volumetric construction is that most of the works take place in a controlled factory, which is better protected against material and labour shortages, quality fluctuations, weather and other site related factors.

With increased investment in the digital platforms behind our manufacturing process, we’re able to deliver homes as programmed and in a fraction of the time of traditional construction. By manufacturing homes in a controlled environment, we operate rigorous quality control systems that ensure the finish of our homes is consistently of a high standard. We’re proud to be the first modular manufacturer covered by the NHBC, the industry standard for new build homes, ensuring our homes are fully mortgageable and insurable with a range of leading providers.

Ownership

ilke homes is a well-capitalised business with a rapidly growing pipeline that consists of 3,000 homes and a contracted order book of over £300 million. After being founded three years ago, we are already working alongside the UK’s largest institutional investors, developers, housing associations and councils to speed up the delivery of high-quality, sustainable housing. TDR Capital is a majority shareholder of ilke Homes, with Sun Capital, Places for People and others as minority shareholders, with backing from Homes England providing a matched equity loan facility to the business.

 

Modular Housing

QUALITY, TME AND COST:

Operating at scale, offsite modular building will produce better quality homes in less than half the time of traditional construction, at lower cost.

PRODUCTIVITY

Significant productivity gains can be made if the industry adopts world class manufacturing techniques, in the same way the car industry did 30 years ago.

UK INDUSTRY:

Building a UK-based design, manufacturing and supply base, will provide high quality employment opportunities and multiply the impact of housebuilding investment on the UK economy.

POLITICAL LANDSCAPE:

Offsite modular building provides the speed, agility, quality and energy efficient homes needed to address the UK’s housing targets and recognised housing shortage, supporting the government’s policy to stimulate housing supply.

SKILLS SHORTAGE:

Housebuilding, using innovative offsite modular build methods, supplements traditional volume housebuilding, and is less reliant on hard-to-find construction skills.

FUTURE HOMES AS STANDARD:

Our base specifications exceeds building regulations as standard and with our ilke ZERO plans, all ilke homes will be zero carbon, with zero energy bills, at zero additional costs by 2030.
