INTRODUCTION OF STAMA Homes:

STAMA Homes, is a supplier of offsite manufactured timber frame houses, which belong to STAMA Group, a Manchester based property development company. STAMA is in a strategic partnership with Property Alliance Group and personally supported and mentored by David Russell.

MARKET DEMAND:

Construction and housing market urgently needs modern methods of construction, see quote below (Financial Times, Housing Minister):  Today, as the country faces another severe shortage, the government is turning once again to modular, or offsite, construction in an effort to accelerate housebuilding. “Offsite construction could provide a huge opportunity to increase housing supply,” said Gavin Barwell, housing minister.[1]

NEGATIVE PERCEPTION FROM PAST
Negative perception of the prefabricated houses has its roots in 1940s bearing in mind Churchill’s prefabs. Modern off-site solutions has dramatically improved and modern manufacturing has nothing in common with the previously used systems. The latest timber technology and off-site solutions ensure comfortable, cost-effective and energy-efficient living. Panelised timber houses excel with high quality of design and construction with exceptional value for money. To prove it, big players on the market are using offsite systems to fulfil the demand e.g. Legal & General Homes has launched world’s biggest modular housing factory and developers such as Urban Splash started to use this technology for their projects (hoUSe – Ancoats and Irwell Riverside).  While new in the UK, it has been used in Europe for over 60 years, especially Germany, Austria, Sweden…
