We know that first impressions count!
According to research, most people make their minds up about whether they want to live in a house within one minute of seeing the outside. This means the visual appeal of properties, communal areas, roads and pavements plays a part in the decision making.
From bricks and masonry to paving, roofing, solar panels, kerbs, drainage solutions and street furniture, we have an extensive range of landscaping, roofing and building products to meet the needs of any housing development.
Our technical expertise goes beyond rigorous product testing. We offer design and engineering support that delivers significant cost and carbon savings. Whether you’re a small or large housing developer, we’re here to provide the materials and knowledge needed for your projects. Those who engage us early in the planning stages benefit from sound, warranted product and design advice, as well as support that makes projects both more sustainable and cost-effective.
We’re big on doing what we can to minimise our impact on the environment, and we’ve committed to reach net-zero by 2050 – our near-term and long-term carbon reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
We want to help you meet your sustainability goals too, and that’s why we offer Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for most of our products, helping you to make sustainable choices and comparisons with the products you’re selecting.
Our ongoing product innovation drives us to explore more sustainable product mixes and we’re constantly looking at ways to further improve our carbon footprint in our own operations and across our site to help reduce your scope 3 emissions.
We’re supporting more sustainable housebuilding by using CarbonCure Technologies to inject waste carbon into the concrete facing bricks we produce at our Grove site. We’ve also invested a lot of resource into finding alternatives to cement in our concrete too, without impacting on the functionality and aesthetics. We’ve now produced our first full scale production run of cement-free concrete blocks which is a win for us, and you.
We work with housing developers of all sizes to supply materials and share our expertise to save time, money and carbon.
