🚧 The vision is becoming reality! 🏗️🌱

Great progress on site, with another set of key milestones achieved as the development continues to take shape.

✅ Main sewer connection complete
✅ All EV charging ducts installed
✅ Cycle store base poured
✅ Edgings installed
✅ Verges and garden areas soiled and ready for turfing and planting

Every stage brings us closer to delivering the finished development, with the external works really starting to come together!

AND WE ARE BACK! 🏡✨

Just over a year later… and what a transformation! 😍

The build is looking absolutely beautiful, and now it’s our turn to make the outside compliment it. 🌿

Before we get stuck into the landscaping, there’s a little essential groundwork to take care of — and we’re getting ahead of the weather! 🌧️

💧 Installing all storm drainage, connecting into the soakaway we previously installed
🚽 Foul sewer connection to be completed
📡 BT fibre connection to be installed
🌧️ All ready for whatever the British weather throws at us!

It’s always the work you don’t necessarily see that makes the finished project work properly — and getting the infrastructure right now means we can create an exterior that looks as good as the build itself.

The first half of the gabion wall is now complete and what a difference it makes! 👏

Built strong, secure and looking the part, this section is now safely finished and ready for the build to move forward. 💪

It’s great to see the project really starting to take shape, with another major stage completed and the foundations in place for what comes next. 🏗️

A lot of hard work has gone into getting this stage finished, and we’re really pleased with how it’s looking. Now it’s on to the next section and keeping the momentum going! 🚀

Halfway there… and the end result is going to be something special! 👀

🔨 Another retaining wall transformation has begun!

After the previous sleeper retaining wall failed, it was time for a stronger, more durable solution.

We removed the failed sleepers and installed a gabion basket retaining wall, providing a robust structure designed to handle the ground pressure while also allowing for natural drainage.

A challenging area being transformed into a secure, functional and great-looking retaining solution. 💪🪨

Stage 2 is well underway! 🚧

The next two foundation pours have now been completed to specification, ensuring the required depth is achieved for the swimming pool installation later in the project. 🏊‍♂️

We’ve also completed the blockwork, brickwork, drainage and block-and-beam floors for Phase 1.

Over the coming weeks, our focus will turn to installing a suitable retaining wall, as the existing wall is currently failing.

Another major milestone reached — plenty more to come! 💪🏗️

Another project well underway! 💪

The split-level foundations have been dug, signed off by Building Control, and the concrete has now been poured. ✅

To keep things interesting, we’ve discovered a natural spring on site, so it’s wellies on in all weathers! 🌦️

Great progress and looking forward to the next stage!

Not every drainage system can rely on gravity. On this project, we installed a pumping station to lift the wastewater uphill to the mains connection, ensuring the system performs exactly as it should.

Every site brings its own challenges—but with the right solution, nothing is impossible. 💪

A full-on week of drainage works at this property!

Because the house sits lower than road level, heavy rain was causing major surface water issues. To solve this, we installed ACO drains along the front of the building, along with a new road gully to deal with another low spot in the driveway.

We also installed a brand-new foul drainage pumping station. The property was originally a single-storey home, but with the basement now being converted into living space, gravity drainage simply wasn’t possible due to the low levels. The only solution was a pumped system to lift the waste water up to the main sewer connection.

Along the way, an unsafe set of old concrete steps also had to be removed to make everything safe and accessible again. 🏡 💧

Here’s a recently completed block paved driveway!

Block paving was chosen for its durability, and with the number of trees surrounding the property, it was the smartest long-term choice. Unlike other driveway surfaces, individual blocks can be lifted and replaced if they ever become damaged or stained — making maintenance much easier and more cost-effective over time.

Its flexibility in design also allowed us to create a shape that perfectly complements the front of the property, giving a clean, attractive finish while maximising practicality. 🧱🚗🚙
