Overview

In partnership with YMD Boon and Wigston Academy Trust, R1 Construction successfully delivered a state-of-the-art science teaching facility at Wigston Academy in Leicestershire. The project involved the design and construction of a modern science block to enhance the academy's educational capabilities and provide students with a cutting-edge learning environment.

A significant milestone for R1 Construction, this is our first full housing development. The regeneration project involved the careful demolition of two blocks of flats and garages to make way for much needed affordable housing, in line with Housing Plus Group’s vision to deliver high-quality, energy-efficient homes.

Now complete, the exciting new development offers a mix of 18 family houses, apartments, and bungalows all available for social rent helping to meet the growing demand for housing in the area.
