About the Project

Aspen Grove

While the fundamentals of building a house are much the same as building a school or a hospital, his simultaneous construction of scores of houses involved greater complexity, required him to maintain the key subcontracting resource on site for the project’s three-year duration, and to make hundreds of end-users happy.

Matt mastered the challenge by running his site logically and efficiently, offering an environment that subcontractors responded positively to. He minimised the issues from multiple plots being worked on at once by breaking the programme and the project into 22 phases. The jump in customer satisfaction came from him working closely with all site workers as well as sales and aftersales to drive up the build standard.

And he delivered the construction fundamentals with value-adding nous. He saved £150k on the groundworks package by removing superfluous works. He cut material and excavation costs by eliminating manifolds for the pipework. And he greatly reduced operational costs by using electricity generated by the solar panels in the show plot to power the site setup.
