We are delighted to share that Hart Road, the 44-home development in Thundersley that we supported for Legal & General Affordable Homes, was Highly Commended in the Medium Housing Schemes (25-100 homes) category at the Essex Housing Awards 2026.
The scheme was also named a finalist in three further categories: Climate Action and Net Zero Housing, Excellence in Design & Placemaking, and Inclusive Growth and Social Value. The results were announced at the awards ceremony held at Hylands House, Chelmsford, on 5th November 2026, which members of our team attended.
Completed in 2025, Hart Road was built using a closed-panel timber-frame system, with air source heat pumps and solar panels enabling the scheme to achieve net zero carbon status. Rose Builders Ltd delivered the project as main contractor under a JCT Design and Build Contract.
We supported the project as Quantity Surveyor, Employer’s Agent and Clerk of Works, managing costs and administering the contract on behalf of the client, while also monitoring the quality of the work on site through to completion.
We would like to thank Legal & General Affordable Homes, Rose Builders Ltd and the wider project team for their work on Hart Road, and we congratulate all this year’s winners and highly commended entries.
