Morro Partnerships has been appointed by Jigsaw Homes Midlands as the contractor for the Birch Fields housing scheme at Rolleston Drive in Arnold, UK. 

Appointed after a procurement process, the Midlands-based contractor will commence work on the project this month. 

The scheme will include 45 two-bedroom homes, 73 three-bedroom homes, and 13 four-bedroom homes, all available for shared ownership or affordable rent. 

The development is being supported by Homes England.

Morro Partnerships will take over the completion of homes that were initially manufactured off-site by ilke Homes, a modular house builder that entered administration last June.

In addition, Morro will construct the remaining four homes at the site.  

Garnet Fazackerley, operations director of Jigsaw Homes Group Development said: “This has been an incredibly challenging time following the collapse of ilke Homes in June 2023. However, we remained committed and confident that we could find a suitable partner who could complete the scheme and provide much-needed affordable homes and we are delighted to be working with Morro Partnerships to complete this development. 

“The homes will have NHBC warranty following stringent quality and compliance checks and will be finished to a high standard as they have been kept watertight and secure since the development stalled."

The first homes are anticipated to be ready by October this year, with the entire project scheduled for completion by September 2025.
