Seven people, aged 18-25, participated in the planning, design and building of the homes in Harold Hill, Havering.

As well as acquiring a range of skills and experience during the build, the team studied at a local college to gain construction qualifications.

Havering Council leader Councillor Michael White said the project had given the participants a chance to learn valuable skills.

The project was a joint initiative between the council and Family Mosaic Housing in conjunction with the Community Self Build Agency.
