WORK has begun on a building firm’s new £5.2million regional headquarters in Lichfield.
Bloor Homes expects the new 18,500 sq ft building off Wall Island to open in 2026.
The two-storey facility is being built by Deeley Construction and will eventually accommodate 40 members of staff.
Paul Degg, managing director for Bloor Homes’ Midlands region, said:
“Planning a new office is an opportunity to futureproof our entire working environment.
“We are aiming for BREEAM Excellent certification with the new building including a range of sustainability features such as 160 solar panels, 20 electric vehicle charging points, permeable paving and a sustainable urban drainage system. It will also include car parking, landscaping, draining and infrastructure.
“This is a significant investment to grow our teams as we continue to deliver high quality new homes across the Midlands region, while also providing future generations with a firm foundation for ongoing success.”
BREEAM – the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method – is used to specify and measure the sustainability performance of buildings.
Steve Turner, construction director at Deeley Construction, said:
“This is the second project we have delivered for Bloor Homes and it is great to strengthen our partnership with one of the UK’s largest housebuilders.
“We have a proven track record of building sustainable workspaces that allow clients to expand, grow and enhance their operations.
“This is a project with green features at its core, incorporating a significant number of solar panels and electric vehicle charging points which will support it in achieving a high sustainability standard.”
