These two- and three-bedroom homes were built for affordable rent, giving more people the chance to live in high-quality, secure housing. From the start, the focus was on energy efficiency, using a fabric-first approach to keep homes warmer, reduce energy bills, and make them more sustainable for the future.
To help bring this development to life, our team provided a range of services, including Civil & Structural Engineering to create solid and durable structures, Geotechnical & Site Investigations to assess ground conditions, and Flood Risk Assessments to ensure homes were protected from potential water issues. We also carried out CCTV Drainage Surveys to keep water systems running smoothly and provided Party Wall Services to make sure everything was built in line with neighbouring properties.
Over 18% of our fee value was committed to delivering social value in the local area. This project has seen 133 weeks of employment delivered for residents within 10 miles of the site and 108 weeks of employment provided for previously unemployed people in the area. A further 250 learner hours were delivered in partnership with local schools and colleges while four full-time apprentices were hired, contributing to more than 230 apprentice training weeks during the project.
These homes will provide stability and security for families, bring more people into the area, and help strengthen the local economy.
