Fantastic day on site with Bramall Homes. Henry + Aaron managed to put the walls and gables up within 4 days. All concrete in within 4 hours - walls and gables poured at the same time.
Excellent concrete quality and service by Coppard. Pump driver Tom of a master of his controls.
Great work by all and we look forward to the next project 🤝
Henry and team are happy for interested parties to visit the site.

Building into a Slope: Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Hillside sites 🏡
Many people find building into a slope a daunting prospect... even though sloping sites are generally cheaper.
The ultimate hillside home is the earth sheltered dwelling.
While it might seem unconventional, there are some incredible advantages to earth-sheltered homes that can save you money and create a unique living experience.
Pros of Hillside Homes:
Energy Efficiency: Earth-sheltered homes are naturally insulated by the surrounding earth, which can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs. Imagine cozy winters and cool summers with minimal energy use!
Serene Atmosphere: Nestled into the landscape, these homes offer a sense of tranquility and connection with nature. The calming ambiance can't be beat.
Noise Reduction: The earth acts as a natural sound barrier, providing a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Unique Design Opportunities: The sloped terrain allows for creative architectural designs that blend seamlessly with the environment.
This earth sheltered house in Oxfordshire is built into a bank. The vertical timber cladding adds texture and a sense of belonging to the landscape. The spacious interior shows how the light can flood into the living space to create a wonderful home environment.

Beautiful earth-sheltered home in Oxfordshire built into the slope of the land. A large array of windows allows the inside to be bathed in light.
Over the years we have been in business there have been quite a few of these structures built in Polarwall ICF and we are always happy to help and advise on how to make these challenging builds into beautiful family homes.
