A Cumnock-based company has delivered a ground-breaking £17million project of over 100 homes in Kilmarnock.
Connect Modular, part of the Wee House Group, based on the Caponacre Industrial Estate, is already well known for its work across Ayrshire.
Now the firm has been part of a development of 101 homes, which are the largest modular low-rise, affordable housing development in Scotland.
The company's modular construction method is considered to be one of the most sustainable and efficient ways to build a new home.

Connect Modular uses a unique technique to assemble 90 per cent of a home's structure at its warehouse, before being transported to its site to complete the build.
This project was successfully delivered by Connect Modular for Cunninghame Housing Association with the support of East Ayrshire Council and funding from The Scottish Government.
The programme was originally scheduled for 122 weeks, but was completed in 104.
Jennifer Higgins, CEO of Connect Modular said: "We are proud to have completed this development for Cunninghame Housing Association at Shortlees, Kilmarnock, significantly ahead of schedule, and to have provided 101 families with new high-quality, affordable homes.
"This achievement really highlights the efficiency and excellence of modular construction".

"Feedback from our tenants has been incredibly positive, particularly in relation to the quality and standard of finish, the spacious and bright layout of the houses and excellent storage throughout”.
