Topping out ceremony


Earlier this week we hosted a topping out ceremony at the site of the CarbonLight Homes to mark an important milestone in their construction.

The event was attended by the project partners, including Willmott Dixon, HTA Architects, North Northants Development Company and Kettering Borough Council as well as several suppliers, who saw the build team fix the final SIP roof panel in position that marks the completion of the homes' frame.

Eamonn Burns, Operations Director of Willmott Dixon, commented that construction is progressing "extremely well". The CarbonLight homes are expected to be watertight in two weeks and are back on schedule for completion in early summer, following the bad weather in January that delayed progress.
