The project involved the construction of 23 dwellings built to Passivhaus standards and two apartments, together with related external works and drainage. Each dwelling was required to achieve 0.6 air test to achieve Passivhaus and were the first certified Halsall Passivhaus homes.
Spread across five brownfield sites we constructed 23 homes to help towards the housing crisis. All of the homes needed to meet the code for sustainable homes at level 4 and lifetime home standards.
The Design focus for this project was based on a first fabric approach based on Passivhaus principles to first reduce the energy demand of a building and thus reducing its carbon emissions before adding renewables. This resulted in affordable low carbon housing solutions which aims to defeat fuel poverty.
We are extremely proud to be apart of this scheme and all that it stands for.
In order for Bristol City Council to meet their budget, we carried out value engineering which saved £250k and allowed for necessary changes in the design before construction work commenced.
Due to the works being spread across a ¾mile area and the neighbours being situated in the middle of the site, we sponsored their Christmas tree lights, installed a permanent electricity supply for their Christmas tree and provided all barriers etc for the fire work display.

The development was constructed over five sites and spread over a ¾mile area.
To make sure we have enough resources across the area we had three Site Managers running the sites.
Each site was situated within a heavy residential area, with neighbours either side.
We ensured that we had a strategic communication plan in process; resident’s meetings were held with the Lawrence Weston Action Group every six weeks with approximately 20 people attending each session.
The Action Group deals with all planning matters, investment to the area etc.
Communication for this project was absolutely paramount, we wanted all residents to know who to contact if they had any problems.
