A significant construction and refurbishment project has been successfully delivered at Unit B2, Heartlands Business Park, Daventry. The 177,000 sq ft scheme was completed in just 20 weeks, in collaboration with Helme & Partners.

The project team is delighted to report that the site achieved a “Very Good” score under the Considerate Constructors Scheme and is now targeting a BREEAM Excellent certification — reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability and high-quality standards throughout the build.
