We are a valued partner of public and private sector alike – from local authorities to top flight developers – and our passion for innovative design is reflected in the leading architects we commission.
Working with high calibre firms means we can not only create inspiring places to live, but exceed our customers’ expectations too. Our expertise in regeneration is in high demand and we are currently leading on four major projects involving over 2,000 homes. We have won 12 major development and customer service awards in the last two years.
We build, sell, rent and manage quality homes in thriving communities - we give people the key to all the possibilities that come with a good home.

Where other “Social Housing Providers” call-off contracts under this Framework Agreement, the value of the Framework stipulated in II.2.6) may increase over its 4 year duration.
The estimated value of the framework is 4 milliion GBP across both Lots
