Reema construction

Reema construction is a system of building using prefabricated reinforced concrete panels which came into being in the late 1940s and was still in use well into the 1960s.

Owners of Reema Conclad will have a slightly easier time obtaining a mortgage, but many major high street lenders will still not fund purchase of this type of building.

Its history is detailed in a monograph published by the SWIAS (South Wiltshire Industrial Archaeology Society): One Man and his Construction Company Reed and Mallik 1937 to 1968 by John Illston Synopsis: William Edward Reed founded his company in 1937.

Examples of their work include prefabricated concrete houses and high rise apartment blocks, village halls, dams in Wales and Scotland and Bridges in Australasia.

Typically full grants are now available to have this work completed, this is especially so for households that use coal, oil, or electricity to heat their homes.
