HOMES

Guildoak has been primarily focussed on acquiring sites and delivering planning permissions up to now.

 

We are now working towards creating our own homes for sale or rent that enable us to achieve our overall aim of creating homes which improve biodiversity and use eco-friendly materials.

 

This social accountability will help our development to fit into their landscapes leaving a positive legacy for future generations.

It is important to understand that looking beyond the bottom line and future proofing our houses and developments can make a positive contribution to people’s lives and the way they live.

DESIGN

Utilising our in-house experience alongside external architects and consultants we create exquisite designs internally and externally that are practical for living in the 21st Century.

CONSTRUCTION

In order to deliver our homes and places we partner with local contractors who share our values.

​

During construction we remain involved with regular supervising to guarantee our vision is adhered too.

​

As part of our commitment to our neighbours for the duration of the construction process, we seek to reduce unnecessary traffic movements to and from our sites whilst also minimising light and noise disturbance.

​

Waste is segregated and where possible all materials and packaging is recycled.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

We wish to exceed the building regulation targets set by central Government for thermal and energy efficiency by improving thermal efficiencies throughout our houses.

 

This commitment to reducing carbon emissions will aid us to deliver our houses with a minimum “A” EPC rating.

 

In order to achieve this we will include the following features internally and externally in the communities we create;

  • Solar panels, air source heat pumps or alternative renewable energies

  • Internal Water savings (flow restrictions, air flush toilets, etc)

  • Designs which maximise use of natural light

  • Electric vehicle chargers

  • Tree-lined streets

  • Grey water recycling and other sustainable drainage solutions

  • Smart Home Systems to allow appliances to be remotely controlled

  • Provision for homeworking to reduce the travel needs of occupants

  • Energy-efficient accessories as standard (A-rated)

  • Ecological consumables (such as wildflower planting, composters, fruit trees, hedgehog highways, bat & bird boxes, bee bricks)
