UK-based construction firm Tolent has secured a contract worth £17.7m from housing association Yorkshire Housing to construct 113 new affordable homes in Menston, West Yorkshire.

The company is planning to use a mix of modern methods of construction (MMC) on a number of units in the project.

This development will include a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and will be available for a mix of tenures on the bases of affordable rent, shared ownership and right to buy.

The construction company stated that the new project will be delivered in support with funding from Homes England.

Construction work on new homes is scheduled to commence later this summer with completion expected in spring 2024.

Yorkshire Housing growth and assests executive director Andy Gamble said: “This is the first site that we’re looking to use structurally insulated panels for the build and we’re also considering a number of different smart tech options for the finished homes.
