As you can imagine the weather has been a big inconvenience to anyone working outdoors, but we have persevered and have managed to complete all of plot drainage and are ready to start our off site works on Monday. Our Gas meters have been installed and the electricity is due to go on Friday next week.


Inside we have pushed on and installed 50% of our kitchens and bathrooms, the tilers are on site tiling the kitchen and bathrooms we are looking forward to when we can release the plots for final decorations, which should only be approximately a week from completing the first plot.

It’s our first week back after the Christmas break and we are hard at it, installing the flagged footpath to the rear of the properties and shaping up the car park at the side of one of the wheelchair units.
     The Rainwater Hrvesting Tnk has been installed ready for the completion of the surface water drainage, this tank will provide roof water for the ground floor flats to flush their toilets, thereby reducing the amount of water being discharged to the surface water drainage system.
     The off site utility works hit a bit of a snag before Christmas the Gas Main works had to be abandoned due to the nature of the ground they were digging through, so it was decided to backfill and try again in the New Year.




We have 6 plots fully plastered with only 2 to go, our Joiners are in fixing skirting, architrave, and kitchens, next week and our M&E contractor will be just ahead plumbing in the kitchen and bathrooms.

We’re looking good and hope for a smooth run to the end.




We are committed to being a good neighbour and to be considerate for the areas in which we build. Field Head site is in very close proximity with the Junior and Primary school of St’ John's so we have planned a visit from our Site Safety Advisor, Ivor Goodsite who will meet the children just before they break up for half term so that he can talk to them about the hazards that building sites can pose but also to launch a painting competition for over the half term, the winner’s design will be painted onto the site hoarding.
