Modular housing developer Project Etopia is to launch a self-build division with the acquisition of specialist Tribus Homes.
It has taken over its manufacturing facility in Tiverton near Devon, which has a capacity to deliver 200 homes a year.
Project Etopia and Tribus formed the partnership E-Tribus last year. It will now rebrand the venture and expand it with micro manufacturing sites across the country to support council building.
Chief executive Joseph Daniels said: “The factory is a prime example of how a number of satellite, small-scale facilities can be positioned around the country to create local jobs and deliver homes.
“Tribus will continue to provide people with their dream self-build homes, all of which will feature the smart home and energy technology incorporated in all Etopia projects.”
