The Labour-led council is planning to develop its housing company “Gloriana” to build at least 1,000 new homes by 2018.
The value of works for the new-build developments is estimated to be between £160m – £200m.
New build developments will vary from small infill sites of around 2- 4 properties to major flatted development of around 100 homes.
The Kent council is also planning to spend £75m over the period on both internal and external refurbishment and improvements works to existing homes to the new “beyond decency” standard.
This new standard aims to maximise the energy efficiency of homes, minimise damp and mould.
Under the umbrella Building Contractors Framework- Housing Capital Programme, firms have been selected for four lots.
