Title: BecoWallform - 3 Rivers Housing in Durham
Description: Durham residents to benefit from new ‘eco-friendly’ bungalows Three Rivers Housing Group, a Durham-based housing association is nearing completion of a development consisting of sixteen 2-bedroom bungalows at West Rainton in County Durham. The scheme which consisted of two phases has been developed within this local County Durham village. The homes have been designed to ‘Lifetime Homes Standards’ to achieve an ‘Eco-homes’ rating of very good. This is equivalent to a 30% reduction in annual CO2 emissions per home and provides tenants with the opportunity to live in well designed and comfortable homes which will cost less to heat up in the winter and will stay cooler when the weather is hotter in the summer. Each home has been built using the Beco Wallform System to help reduce construction time which reduces preliminary costs such as site set-up and supervision costs. David Brown, Development and Regeneration Manager at Three Rivers said, “The whole project design team, including contractor CGR Ecohomes and Robin Miller of Beco Wallform, have worked well together to bring the scheme about, on what is a very restrictive site and with tight budgetary constraints. Such is our confidence in the team and the product that we have already started working on the next two proposed scheme designs.”
