MONTREAL, April 16, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - EDAROTH – a wholly owned subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin's (TSX: SNC) Atkins business – is to provide end-to-end development solutions as part of a £1bn housing framework in Wales, United Kingdom.
Under the four-year agreement, EDAROTH will work with local authorities and housing associations to help meet housing targets through the provision of design and engineering expertise, the latest off-site manufacturing techniques and construction management partnerships which allow energy-efficient new homes to be built at speed, volume and at a significantly reduced whole life cost compared to traditional new builds.
EDAROTH's end-to-end development solutions also prioritise brownfield and under-utilised land within existing communities to build homes which help address social and economic challenges.
"There is a pressing need for affordable homes in the UK and elsewhere - this global challenge is a long-standing problem which will only be solved through innovation and new ways of working," said Philip Hoare, President, Atkins, Engineering, Design & Project Management, SNC-Lavalin.
"Our place on this framework is a significant milestone for EDAROTH as we look to work with in partnership with clients to deliver carefully considered, sustainable housing developments which benefit from cutting edge digital design, offsite manufacture and assembly."
