The Essex Medical Park - Great Baddow You probably heard it here first! Working in conjunction with a select team of world class medical consultants, we are proud to announce the aquisition of a prime development site in Great Baddow to provide a cluster of medical clinics to serve the growing requirement for medical facilities focussed on day care and non-invasive techniques. We hope that this development will also acccomodate the first Swedish IVF clinic in the UK to be managed and run by the world's most successful IVF practitioners. Planning is in the preliminary stages at the moment, but we are all excited at being given this opportunity to take a part in such an innovative and ground breaking venture.

Food for thought? Have you ever seen or heard of any other developer that is prepared to publish the actual heating costs of their show home?
Do you know of any other developer with the genuine heating costs of their show home published openly on their web page?
Can you think of any other developer with a dedicated heating system power consumption meter openly on display in their show home for the general public to monitor for themselves? Why do you think that is?
Queensway - Chatteris We have now started construction, and the erection of 9 detached bungalows with associated garaging is underway with stable traditional foundations already complete on the first 5 plots following the successful construction of a state of the art surface water retention system to ensure that this development will have no impact on local water levels while causing no nuisance to future residents. We will shortly start work on the superstructures and commence full scale marketing in the near future.
Professional Success Our construction director, Marcel Cooper, in addition to being an official Ambassador for the Chartered Institute of Building, has now been elected not only as the chairman of the Essex Centre of the Chartered Institute Of Building, but also as the vice-chairman of the East of England Region of that same organisation.
A Good Idea? How would you fancy a form of heating that was absolutely free, cheap to install and had an operational zero carbon cost? Too good to be true? Then how about the "Solarventi"? This simple device screws to any external wall facing south east through south to south west. It contains a photovoltaic solar panel which powers a small fan to draw air though the panel and blow it into the house giving free warmth. The device can be operated either by a simple on/off switch or a thermostatic control. Naturally the device will only work in sunlight, but any heat it puts into your home, is heat energy that you do not have to buy from your electricity or gas supplier. Now, our question is this, would such a gadget make your buy one of our homes in preference to a home without it or are we wasting our time in considering fitting it to new homes for sale? Please tell us what you think here!
In the Press - Riverdown development on the front cover of "Building Products" - The front cover of the February 2008 edition of Building Products magazine (see top left image on the right of this page) showed the rear elevation of our spilt level river side homes on our Riverdown development in March and as can be seen by this magazine front cover and the subsequent leading article on page 3, this project is often used to demonstrate how a fully glazed Juliette balcony can be both visually unobstrousive and simultaneously strong enough to provide safe protection from falling by using properly engineered structural glass. Riverdown development in "Housebuilder & Developer"-We were pleased to see an article in this erstwhile publication which again featured our fashionable riverside homes. Page 17 of the March 2008 issue has a full page description with photographs (see top right image on the top to the right of this page) of our balconied development over looking the tranquil "old course" of the River Nene. Construction Director in "Construction News" and "Refrigeration and Air Conditioning"-In his capacity as Ambassador for the Chartered Institute of Building, Marcel Cooper our Construction Director was asked to attend roundtable talks to discuss the introduction and future development of the new Energy Performance Certificates (see third, fourth and fifth image from the top to the right of this page) required for both domestic housing and commercial buildings. Mulberry Lea highlighted in "Construction Manager" Case Study-The May issue of Construction Manager magazine features three page article dedicated to the Altherma air sourced heat pumps.This informative article (see bottom right image to the right of this page) is intended to form part of professional builders' CPD and our site, Mulberry Lea is identified as the case study for this system.
