Our approach to construction

Swan have been leaders in regeneration since we were formed in 1994. We were one of the first housing associations to build for private sale, one of the first to create our own inhouse developer, NU living, and are the first housing association to open our own modular housing factory.

With over 700 homes currently on site, all of these projects are being built by our in-house team at NU living, from custom build modular houses at Beechwood in Basildon, to phase 1a of Purfleet-on-Thames.

Having an in-house developer gives us greater control over quality and delivery and saves us millions of pounds; this means we can create outstanding projects, innovate and make the most impact on housing needs.

Our programme is delivered by a development and regeneration team with expertise in regeneration, planning, construction, sales and marketing and manufacturing, which has been expanded to include a drawing office team too.

We will continue to deliver our projects through a mixture of traditional construction and precision manufactured modular homes, considering every project individually to agree the appropriate method of construction.
