Design and Build Residential Scheme in Warwickshire
Colonial delivered a premium 3-bedroom house development in a Northamptonshire village valued at £1.5 million, showcasing exceptional internal finishes and decoration with high-quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. Comprehensive landscaping and external works featured carefully designed gardens, driveways, and boundary treatments that enhanced both property value and village character. The development achieved full building regulations compliance while prioritizing sustainable materials and finishes, incorporating responsibly sourced timber, low-VOC products, and energy-efficient specifications that reduced environmental impact without compromising quality.
The project encountered significant challenges when historic wells were discovered on site, necessitating complete foundation redesign, alongside difficult neighbour relations requiring careful management. Colonial instructed a structural engineer to redesign the foundations while implementing a comprehensive communication strategy with Yew Tree Lane residents, ensuring all teams exceeded Considerate Contractors Scheme standards. Through proactive value engineering, Colonial redesigned roof structures from cut roofs to truss systems, eliminating steel supports and delivering over £10K in cost savings to the client while maintaining structural integrity and design intent.
