Building More Than Infrastructure 💚
For the past four months, Colmor Construction has been proudly delivering drainage infrastructure improvements at Camphill Village Trust in Gloucester, helping to upgrade essential services across this unique community.
From the outset, we knew that working within a live community environment would require more than simply delivering the works.
At the start of the project, we held a presentation with members of the community to introduce our team, explain what we would be doing and answer any questions about how the works may affect day-to-day life.
Four months on, it has been fantastic to see the relationships our team has built with everyone at Camphill.
Last week, we decided to put the work to one side for an afternoon and do something a little different! 🍕🚜
We treated the residents and staff to freshly made pizzas and desserts, followed by the opportunity to get up close with some of the plant and equipment we've been using across the site.
The smiles say it all!
It was brilliant seeing everyone getting involved, climbing into the machines and experiencing something that they've been watching our team operate around the community over the past few months.
Camphill Village Trust is a fantastic charity supporting adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health challenges to lead lives of opportunity, independence and choice. We're extremely proud to be playing a small part in improving the infrastructure within their Gloucester community.
Projects like this also require a genuinely collaborative approach. We're delivering the scheme alongside Greenwood Projects, whose support, professionalism and close working relationship with our team have been instrumental in the progress made so far.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon possible — and particularly to the residents and staff at Camphill for making our team feel so welcome over the last four months.
We're proud of the infrastructure we're leaving behind, but equally proud of the relationships we've built along the way. 💚
Sometimes the best days on site aren't about what you build. They're about the people you build it for.
