Eighteen flat pack homes are to be assembled in Camberwell, south London. The homes are built in a factory in Krakow, Poland. Six of the prefab apartments have already been assembled by Polish workers, taking just three days to put up. The remaining homes will soon be delivered complete with carpets and Ikea kitchens. Hyde Housing Association, the developers of the scheme, said that cheap Polish labour costs mean the system costs 10% less than a traditionally constructed house, since the Polish workers are paid half the UK minimum wage. The houses are the result of a partnership between Hyde, Buma and the Polish architects PCKO. Hyde want to provide around 150 Buma homes in Britain over the next five years. (Guardian)
