Nearly 1,800 new bedspaces are being built for military personnel under the Ministry of Defence鈥檚 new approach to building single living accommodation (SLA).

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has put together an alliance of contractors 鈥� 鈥榯he programmatic approach framework alliance鈥� 鈥� that will use a common design for new MoD buildings. [See previous report here.]

The projects that have been allocated to alliance members so far are:

Bowmer & Kirkland:

• Infantry Training Centre, Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire (144 bedspaces)
• Combermere Barracks, Berkshire (74 bedspaces)
• RM Condor, Angus (348 bedspaces)
• RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset (123 bedspaces)

Reds10:

• Baker Barracks, Hampshire (315 bedspaces)
• RAF Cosford, Shropshire (50 bedspaces)

Kier Metek:

• RM Bickleigh, Devon (166 bedspaces)

Laing O鈥橰ourke:

• RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire (228 bedspaces)
• Albermarle Barracks, Northumberland (266 bedspaces)
• RAF Honington, Suffolk (80 bedspaces)

The companies, which also include Kier McAvoy, form the SLA Alliance, which will run initially for six years. The programmatic approach is expected to see 16,000 new bedspaces built by 2034 as part of a wider MoD plan to build or refurbish 40,000 SLA bedspaces over 10 years.

These initial sites have been identified as the first priorities to replace aging and poor-quality existing SLA, but during the course of the 10-year programme, other sites will benefit from new or refurbished accommodation, the MoD says.聽

The contractors are expected to work collaboratively, sharing best practice for the benefit of the companies, the MOD and service personnel.

While the SLA design catalogue allows for different construction methods depending on what is most suitable for each site, the SLA programmatic approach focuses on modern methods of construction (MMC) to reduce the time spent on site.

DIO programme director Warren Webster said: 鈥淭he programmatic approach is already proving successful, with a number of projects underway and others allocated.聽 Our new Alliance is demonstrating excellent collaborative behaviours and focuses on continued improvement. Beyond that, we have plans for many more new SLA blocks at sites across the country, benefitting thousands of our service personnel for years to come.鈥�
