Building Dreams for Lifetime Homes HOPEFlow used for significant Staffordshire military homes build Hope Construction Materials, the UK’s largest independent supplier of construction materials, has completed the supply of 12,500m3 of concrete for the build of more than 300 new military homes. The project, which launched in August, saw 346 new homes built, with Hope providing the concrete slab flooring for each home, using their HOPEFlow high-performance, self-compacting concretes, to ensure that the build was completed to a stringent timescale. Around 1,000 troops from the 16 Signal Regiment and 1 Armoured Division Signal Regiment will be housed on the Beaconside site, as part of the £51m ‘super garrison’ development funded by the Ministry of Defence. The timber frame housing build, the largest of its kind in Britain, is being fulfilled by social housing specialists Lovell. Typically a build of this size would take between three and four years, however to be able to accommodate troops returning from Germany, it needs to be completed in just 11 months. • • • • • • • • • Designer Kitchens & Bathrooms New Builds Extensions Basement & Loft Conversions Specialists in Eco Homes Eco retrofit Refurbishments, Renovations & Restorations Plans for local authority approval Grade I & Grade II Listed Buildings We offer free design advice and free estimates Both sites are within close proximity to the Beaconsfield site, ensuring that the carbon footprint of the project was kept to a minimum, in line with Hope’s ambitious sustainability targets. www.hopeconstructionmaterials.com We are award winning Eco builders, who have built the first home in the UK with cement free hemp blocks.
