Steel frames erected

The New Year has seen good progress made on the homes, with the stud columns erected and fixed to the foundations and the steel frames going up on schedule. Some excavation work to reduce the level of the ground into the rear gardens has also begun.

A film crew will be on site next week and will return at regular intervals to capture stages of the build process. The film will be available on the VELUX website once the homes are complete.

Laying foundations

Despite the harsh winter weather conditions that have swept the country over the past month or so, work finally began on site on 13 December and the foundations for both the three-bed and four-bed CarbonLight Homes are now in place.

Preparation has begun for the construction of the properties’ steel frames and this is set to be completed by the end of the month, in time for the frames’ installation in January.

Meanwhile, talks to involve additional suppliers are under way in the board room.
