Built in the UK.Designed for the Defence Estate.

Service family housing for the defence estate — permanent homes manufactured in Newhaven, East Sussex, by an accredited volumetric manufacturer with capacity to commit.

Our Position

SEMCO has not yet delivered a scheme on the defence estate. This page sets out the capability we have built and what we intend to do with it. We would rather say that plainly than imply a track record we don’t have.

Where We Are

Building the Route In,Not Claiming to Be There.

We are working towards the accreditations and framework positions the estate expects of its supply chain, and we are in conversation with primes who need volumetric capacity in the South East. When we have delivered a scheme, it will be on this page with the numbers. Until then, what we can offer is a factory you can walk round, an accredited process, and capacity we can commit to.
