Whole communities can be revitalised by planning and building communities with a mix of facilities and uses, like community halls, schools, gyms, workshops, underground parking with EV chargers, as well as the homes themselves, all linked by formal and informal green spaces, with routes to existing community hubs and facilities like health centres. 

By embracing new construction materials and methods which offer affordable, quick to construct, quality affordable homes, this vision can turn into a reality faster than people might think. 

Gary Robertson, VASO Build Ltd Group Strategist, said: “Now is the time to adopt some fresh thinking of what is possible in construction. 

“Instead of just building more homes and having more of the same, let’s think about makes a community a great place to live – and then let’s build those communities sooner rather than later, and deliver places and spaces which create better, safer, more healthy lives for people. 

“We can learn from what other places across the world have done in creating communities, not just buildings. 

“By investing in sustainable, long-lasting, value-for-money innovations, we can transform our communities with exemplar developments, 

“The UK has the opportunity to be a pioneer and set the standard for this type of thinking and this model of construction for the UK and beyond. 

“VASO Build is uniquely placed to support the infrastructure ambitions of the government with our volume manufacturing and composite material innovation, creating sustainable, energy efficient and long-lasting build systems. 

“At VASO Build we are open to collaborating and co-creating solutions with any organisation which is keen to unlock the potential of what innovative solutions can bring to the construction sector and our communities.” 

VASO Build Limited is a world-first circular housebuilding innovation

which creates building solutions for homes or schools and other structures using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and a new sustainable panelling system manufactured mostly from recycled glass. 

VASO Build Limited will use MMC to deliver affordable, low carbon dwellings for Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), social housing providers and private house builders. 

VASO’s solution overcomes traditional supply chain issues and skills shortages in the sector by creating a new build system and module with a short timeframe construction. 

It only takes a matter of hours to manufacture a VASO house offsite. It only takes a few days to build it onsite using minimal labour and mechanical equipment, all while achieving high standards of quality, performance, sustainability and durability. 

VASO was chosen to be part of BE-ST Circular and Advance Materials in Construction Accelerator and was presented at BE-ST Fest 2023 - the UK’s biggest zero carbon built environment festival. 

VASO was also invited by Innovate UK to attend a showcase event at the British Antarctic Survey HQ in Cambridge in May this year in relation to concrete and building materials innovation. 

Company Co-Founder and CEO Eddie Black was also invited to Lagos earlier this year to present VASO Build as part of Innovate UK’s Global Alliance Africa delegation to the Future Cities Africa Green Building Summit. 

VASO’s majority shareholder is Eco Group, a diverse multi-industry solutions business based in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
