Kingspan Off-Site’s TEK Building System will form the structural basis for a range of modular house types, created by Austins specifically to reach levels 3 to 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH).

The Kingspan TEK Building System has been incorporated into the Aus-Haus models, which use modern methods of construction (MMC) to create affordable homes, under a four year Partnering Agreement.

Developed in response to the CSH, the Aus-Haus range comprises a collection of pre-designed one to four bedroom properties and a range of flats. Primarily aimed at local housing associations, the Aus-Haus models are based on standard layouts, with options to achieve different Code levels.

Removing the expense of designing individual bespoke houses, the Aus-Haus range is designed to reduce the costs and the design lead-in time of a project, releasing capital for renewable technologies and enabling developers to reach higher Code levels.

Simon Powell, Director of Austins, commented: “The Aus-Haus range brings together the best of the off-site MMC market and innovative technology to provide contemporary and affordable homes.

"As a proven off-site solution, the Kingspan TEK Building System combines speed of build with high levels of thermal efficiency, making it ideal to reach the levels of the Code required by the Aus-Haus designs.”
