Marham Park, Bury St Edmunds - Bellway Homes


Groundworks and Infrastructure – Earthworks, Roads & Sewers, Foundations to oversite and soft and hard landscaping

Contract Value: c.£13m | Duration: c.3 Years

Tamdown is delivering on two projects in Marham Park, Bury St Edmunds: one for repeat customer Bellway Homes Essex, the other for new customer Bellway Homes Eastern Counties, who are building on the adjacent parcel of land.

Challenge

  • The scheme as a collective totals an impressive 330 units of private and affordable housing.
  • The projects are delivered in self-contained parcels which run in tandem, so there was a requirement for each site to be set up individually – with its own teams to ensure delivery against programme and quality standards.
  • Delivery of the site-wide infrastructure was critical for establishing a presence on-site for each of our customers to commence their superstructure builds.

Solution

  • Our teams have delivered highways and sustainable drainage systems alongside 330 plot oversites and associated hard and soft landscaping.
  • Quality and programme were key drivers from the start of the project; the full build release of roads made available and a staged plot release resulted in a clean, tidy and well progressed site.

Outcome

  • Our progress has been praised by our customer, who expressed their thanks for all the hard work ensuring the quality of delivery as well as meeting programme.

"Tamdown have been at the forefront of setting the standard required across our Marham Park development whilst achieving all our target dates that have been set.The positive attitude towards every on-site challenge faced is a credit to the Tamdown team and we have seen this echoed by the following trades.Site presentation is extremely important to Bellway and the Tamdown approach has been faultless."
