HBS Group Southern trusted to deliver the mechanical and electrical services for 147 homes at Barratt Homes Saxon Corner, an NHBC Pride in the Job ‘Seal of Excellence’ award-winning site in Emsworth, Hampshire.
In November 2019, Barratt David Wilson Homes (Southampton) appointed HBS Group Southern to provide the M&E services package for their new Saxon Corner housing development in Emsworth, Hampshire.
It is the latest residential housing project awarded to HBS by the 5 Star housebuilder in the last year. It follows successful building services contract awards for Quarter Jack Park and Canford Paddock in Dorset and Madgwick Park in Chichester to name a few.
This award-winning site in Emsworth offers a brand-new selection of 2-bedroom apartments and 2, 3 and 4-bedroom houses, all built to a high-quality and energy-efficient standard. Consisting of 147 new homes in total, Saxon corner will provide a 30% allocation for affordable housing managed by Sage Housing.
Jon Green, Managing Director at Barratt David Wilson Homes (Southampton) said:
“Plans for this development are moving forward and we are really pleased to have HBS Group Southern on board. The company has a proven track record and I am confident that working together means we can create beautiful, high-quality homes for buyers in Emsworth and the surrounding are.”
Following NHBC CQR reports undertaken in 2020, the 1st fix, 2nd fix and final installations for our plumbing and heating services scored a double level 6 ‘Outstanding’. While our electrical services installations scored a double 5 ‘Very Good’. HBS’ commitment to consistently producing industry-leading M&E services alongside all other trades helped Barratt Homes Saxon Corner lead by Phil Cripps win an NHBC Pride in the Job ‘Seal of Excellence’ Award in 2020.
