Testimonials

Blanchard Wells have been a great find for McCarthy & Stone. Recently completing the groundwork and concrete frame at our Southsea development and presently undertaking the construction of the groundwork and concrete frame at our flag ship site in Virginia Water. Blanchard Wells have been very proactive providing a high quality product well within the programme timescales in a safe and professional manner.

Robert Loveday, Regional Construction Director,
McCarthy & Stone

Earlier engagement with the main contractor and design team has assisted the project stakeholders to achieving a product that is not only of high quality, built on time, incorporated service voids and penetrations, along with budget constraints. The Blanchard Wells team have developed an open communication process, which develops transparency and collaborative working. Blanchard Wells bring the added benefit of group strengths, groundwork and concrete frames, to deliver a programme that would have been hampered if packages had been split.
