Contracts have been awarded for four social-housing promotion projects in Sant Martí, dwellings that will be built in an industrialised way using a faster and more sustainable method. The goal of the tendering is to reduce the environmental impact associated with the manufacture of the materials and implementation periods of the work, to speed up the expansion of the city’s public housing stock.
The Municipal Institute of Housing and Renovation (IMHAB) has awarded the contract for the project and work for building four public affordable rental housing promotions in the El Besòs i el Maresme and the Verneda i la Pau neighbourhoods, which will provide new homes for more than 350 people.
The promotions will be located in the following plots of land:
- Carrer de Pallars, 477 (el Besòs i el Maresme), with 42 dwellings, contract awarded to Constraula.
- Carrer del Marroc, 180 (el Besòs i el Maresme), with 45 dwellings, whose successful tenderers are Constructora del Cardoner, Avintia Construcción, Exe. Arquitectura – Vivas Arquitectos and La Casa por el Tejado – Part by Part.
- Carrer de Binèfar, 22 (la Verneda i la Pau), with 24 dwellings, run by Grup Mas.
- Passatge d’Arriassa, no nº (la Verneda i la Pau), with 40 dwellings, whose successful tenderer is Acsa, Obras e Infraestructuras, SAU.
As regards the building process, the four tenders have in common the reduced environmental impact associated with the construction of buildings, which is achieved, on the one hand, with the efficient management of the materials used through recycled and recyclable elements and, on the other, with workshop productions of the structural elements, thereby reducing the work’s impact. The municipal investment provided for is eleven million euros.
