Facit Homes

Today we are excited to launch the Facit Homes YouTube Channel! Tune in to learn about our approach, projects and insights into the world of building homes with Modern Methods of Construction, Digital Fabrication and more. We've just got it up and running but we will be adding to the channel from now on so stay tuned to hear not just from me but others in the office as well! Check out our first video here: https://lnkd.in/exb2bD_D We've felt YouTube is largely overlooked by most AEC companies, most firms have Instagram, LinkedIn etc but very rarely do you see people with an active YouTube channel. YouTube gives you so much more bandwidth to get your ideas, views, projects across. Hopefully we can share some insights into what were doing! And of course Like & Subscribe to give us a little boost! 😉 #facithomes #sustainablehomes #housing

Check out our founder & CEO bruce bell tell the Facit Homes back story -

It was so great to be at the Marmalade Lane event today Neil Murphy Richard Pender and the rest to the team at TOWN. All that attended got so see close up a really outstanding built scheme, both in terms of an exemplar co-housing project, but also as fantastic place making, and urban design by architect Meredith Bowles and co at Mole. The scale of the co housing aspects were ambitious to say the least - there were communal gardens, chickens, hedgehogs (!), a community hall, communal kitchen, gym, workshop, guest accommodation, cosy shared lounge, a workroom, car free access, a co-op-shop, allotments, car club….. phew!! Overall really awesome!

Celebrating 6 months of progress! We’re thrilled to mark the halfway point in our construction journey at our site in Suffolk. In just 6 months we’ve completed the chassis and installed all doors and windows, making our project weathertight. Here are some shots of our Facit Chassis before beginning our first fix and plasterboarding. Stay tuned for more updates! #ConstructionMilestone #6MonthsIn #BuildingDreams #ProjectProgress

What do all these terms really mean and how does FACIT homes fit within this landscape? Check out the episode here: https://lnkd.in/evz2j9VN #facithomes #prefab #prefabhomes

Building a modern home can feel like it is ruled by uncertainty and confusion. Dispelling some of the widespread myths in our latest YouTube video, Oliver Thomas, our Design Technology Director, talks through the common misconceptions we’ve heard from our customers - and how to navigate the misinformation in those early stages of a project.

Digital design and construction enables the highest quality homes with high environmental performance. During our hyper-detailed design process, our 3D design models allow us to show our customers how each space looks and feels through hyper-real renders and walkthroughs like this one. We extract the data from the digital model for our cost estimation tools. The data gives us precise areas and quantities of things like external walls, roofing and windows, and our cost estimation tools contain up-to-date rates from a linked database. If a material cost changes, it is updated in our database. Learn more about our data-driven solution to cost control in this article: https://lnkd.in/dHH44mf2 #Design #Architects #Architecture #Construction #DesignAndBuild #Manufacture #DFMA

In close collaboration with our customers from start to finish of this project, we carefully crafted a striking design for a home to replace an unused tennis court on a backlands site. A challenging planning application in a Conservation Area, we worked tirelessly to craft a design that brought joy to our customers, suited all their modern living requirements and met the approval of the planning officials. We took pre-application advice for the mass of the house and the form evolved into a part single storey, part 2 storey design. Stone and board-on-board timber cladding bring a natural expression to the facade of Court House, while the standing seam zinc roofing and aluminium panelled window pods frame this stunning home. After complex groundworks, we manufactured the timber superstructure on site with our superb construction professionals guiding the home into reality. Our dedicated studio team dealt with every requirement for our customers and we delivered this home in half the time of a traditional build! #BuildingAHouse #EcoHomes #SustainableConstruction #FSCtimber #claddingsystems #architecturelovers
