Around 500 homes are to be built using the Optima Homes off-site building system, launched by Pace Timber Systems and Cartwright Pickard Architects, in a ?25 million scheme. The use of the system maximises off-site construction in line with BoKlok's commitment to modern methods, and will meet the design requirements for performance and flexibility. Although functionality was important, the system was specified as a partner was required who shared the same aims and objectives with a commitment to innovation. The apartments being made in Newcastle and Gateshead will provide a flexible open-plan layout with high ceilings.
