The year has started off busy at Rollalong, and I’m happy to share what our team has achieved so far. Thanks to offsite construction, our projects have stayed on track despite Storm Chandra and the challenging January weather. The Havering project is progressing well, with delivery on schedule and the first modules arriving in February. We’re also delighted that our temporary accommodation has been shortlisted for two industry awards, a fantastic recognition of the team’s hard work and innovation.
At the beginning of January we delivered a new school building for Silverwood School in under 40 days from first contact, showing how quickly we can create high-quality learning spaces with off-site construction. As many schools begin planning for the next term, now the perfect time to consider your own building needs. Whether you need mainstream classrooms or specialist SEND facilities, starting early helps us meet your deadlines and ensures a smooth delivery.
Delivering School Buildings in Less Than 40 days
We kicked off the year strong and delivered our first building within just a few days.
Since meeting with Silverwood School and Wiltshire Council a little over a month ago, we have installed one SEND classroom. Two more double SEND classrooms are set to be installed at the start of February. This project shows how modular construction can quickly provide flexible, high-quality classrooms that help schools adapt to changing needs.
Havering Project: Progress Continues Whatever the Weather
Rollalong is Shortlisted for 2 Awards - The Pineapple Awards
We’re pleased to share that our collaborative modular temporary housing project, has been shortlisted in two categories at The Pineapples Awards: the Strategy Award and the Building Award. Delivered in partnership with Wates Group, RCKa and Design 4 Structures, the project demonstrates a thoughtful and scalable approach to addressing temporary housing needs.
Careers Day at St Edward's CofE Academy
Our team recently held a careers day at a local school close to our Waterloo & Queen Street project in Havering, where we are building temporary modular homes. Students learned about construction careers through workshops, games, and hands-on activities. They saw how projects like the nearby homes are built and discovered the different jobs involved. The event helped connect what they learn in class to real-world projects, gave them ideas for future careers, and supported our goal of creating social value in the communities where we build.
What's Next at Rollalong
The year has started off busy at Rollalong, and we have a lot more coming up. We’re delivering more school buildings to Silverwood School, showing how quickly we can create high-quality learning spaces. At the same time, the first modules are arriving at our Waterloo & Queen Street project in Havering, so the project is staying on schedule and moving forward smoothly, even with the winter weather.
Following our recent careers day at a local school near the Havering project, we’re continuing to support young people and share how modular construction works in practice, with them coming down to watch the first modules being installed.
We’re also busy designing new education buildings to make sure schools across the region get them by summer, helping everyone start the next term without delays.
