The project consisted of constructing 11 houses and two flats within a new cul-de-sac in Brislington, Bristol. The houses were traditionally constructed with cavit/masonry walls, pitched truss roofs with concrete tiles. Externally the houses were laid to lawn with small patio areas to the rear, permeable paved driveways to the front with the front garden areas laid to lawn and landscaped with locally sourced planting.
We were proud to be involved in the Bristol City Council’s New Build Programme, which seeks to turn brownfield sites into much needed housing across the city. The programme started in 2014, and has now seen over 145 properties built so far.
The homes are modern and have been built to a high standard. All of the buildings are fitted with solar panels, which provide energy to each property and feed any excess back to the grid.
The council’s ambition is to accelerate the delivery of new housing over the next five years, creating 1,000 new homes through various delivery routes, including both brownfield sites and new builds and we look forward to building many more.

Demolishing the existing derelict care home that once stood here and building the new development has improved the area and given many families a home.
Building this development for the schemes of shared ownership and affordable ownership means the rent is affordable and tenants will finally be able to put down roots and become part of a new community.
High level of energy performance in the design for reduced living costs and carbon footprint. Off street parking for each property in a highly parked area reducing traffic.

On plots one – three and plots 11 – 13 we faced the issue of insufficient head room on the stairs.
To resolve this issue we installed steel beams and had the electrical wiring reconnected along with the plumbing.
Due to the bad weather and excessive rain there was discolouration on some of the facing brickwork.
To rectify this as soon as possible, we waited for the better weather and for the brickwork to dry and we arranged for the manufacturer to apply a tint to the bricks to match the rest of the construction.
