HBS Group Southern partner with premium housebuilder Oakford Homes to complete integrated mechanical and electrical services for 119 new homes and community buildings at Abingworth Meadows, a prestigious housing development in Thakeham West Sussex.
In 2016 Oakford Homes appointed HBS Group Southern as its preferred Mechanical and Electrical services partner to support the development of the first phase of 71 new homes at its Abingworth Meadows development in Thakeham.
In 2018 phase 2 followed, with HBS being awarded the contract for a further 48 units. Over the two phases, the Group has provided a fully integrated M&E package for the residential scheme in West Sussex.
The housing mix includes four and five-bedroom family homes, affordable properties and key worker dwellings. All new private homes at Abingworth Meadows benefit from premium materials, fittings and appliances to offer a sophisticated and contemporary finish that meets a high standard of energy efficiency.
In addition to the private and affordable residential units, HBS’ Mechanical and Electrical divisions undertook the M&E installation requirements for the new village hall, sports changing rooms and cricket pavilion.
