Sovini Construction strives to create thriving and inclusive communities that are both safe and sustainable.

Our innovative approach to social involvement helps improve health and wellbeing across the local community, in addition to providing an economic boost.

We are closely involved with our communities, which allows us to listen to their needs and deliver on these where possible.

We are more than just building and improving homes, we have the privilege of changing lives.

Sustainable construction and the wellbeing of our communities go hand in hand.

We understand the environmental impact the delivery of our services has. This includes how we build and maintain our homes, to how we support our stakeholders in adopting environmentally friendly practices.

Read more below to find our how our Morris Meadows development has supported our communities.

£160K Environmental value created Net Zero Carbon Commitment

We’re taking decisive action to tackle our carbon footprint, with our goal being to achieve net-zero status. To accelerate action, we’ve invested resources and funds, and will continue to do so.

During the build process Sovini Construction has saved 2,300 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2).

We actively procure services from organisations who are committed to reducing their environmental impact, and encourage suppliers to join our net zero carbon commitment.

Our dedicated employee app Ourspace provides colleagues with advice and guidance on how to adopt environmentally conscious changes to both their work and personal lives.

Building Sustainable New Homes

All Morris Meadows homes feature environmentally efficient specifications, supplied by the Group’s award-winning local independent building merchant, Sovini Trade Supplies. These include toilets, taps, showers, and light fittings.

This ‘fabric first’ approach focuses on the reduction of energy consumption, through thermal efficiency and running costs for clients.

Circular Economy Service

Sovini Construction are committed to a zero-to-landfill approach to facilitate our carbon reduction commitment. This means that we recycle and reuse 100% of construction waste.

Decarbonisation Materials

The 149 homes are built with structurally PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) graded timber, in addition to contracted timber frame specialists to erect the structure.

This approach to building new homes significantly reduces the Group’s carbon footprint through unique manufacturing, reducing energy consumption throughout its lifetime and locking-away atmospheric CO2 for generations.
