At ODS, we take pride in delivering high-quality construction that makes a real difference. Working with the partners, we modernised, extended, and built new homes—providing much-needed space for growing families and those needing adaptable living. 💡 Our construction work included: 🏗️ Extensions – Expanding homes with rear and side extensions, adding bedrooms, and reconfiguring layouts for better use of space. 🔧 Modernisation & Energy Upgrades – Installing new windows, rewiring, enhanced insulation, solar PV panels, and air source heat pumps to improve energy efficiency. 🚪 Adaptable Living Spaces – Creating ground-floor bedrooms and shower rooms for those with changing mobility needs. From structural work to high-quality finishes, ODS is the go-to for expert construction in Oxford. Every project we complete strengthens our community and provides homes that truly work for the people who need them most. #ODSConstruction #AffordableHousing #CouncilHomes #ConstructionExcellence #doinggood
OX Place has completed a programme modernising empty council housing to provide bigger, adaptable homes for large families and people with changing mobility needs. A growing family or lack of adaptable space can leave people trapped in an overcrowded or unsuitable home. OX Place’s extensions programme upgraded nine empty council homes across the city to help Oxford City Council provide a more flexible response to these needs. The programme included changing internal layouts, a loft conversion, building extensions and providing ground floor bedrooms, shower rooms and other adaptable spaces. Two and three-bed homes were extended to create four and five-bed homes. Empty homes were upgraded with new windows, enhanced insulation, energy efficient lighting and new wiring. Making best use of limited remaining land for housebuilding in Oxford, the extensions programme also provided four new council homes in Blackbird Leys, Headington and Northway. Built on large garden and corner plots, these included three three-bed houses and a five-bed house. All nine existing and the four new homes have been let to households on the housing register. The extensions programme was delivered in partnership with Jessop and Cook Architects and ODS.
