We’re thrilled to have Ben on board with R1, gaining valuable hands-on experience with the team on site at Webb Crescent in Dawley.

R1 Partners with Telford College to Provide Work Experience for 18 Students! R1 is excited to partner with Telford College to provide students with an exceptional opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the construction industry. From November to March 2025, each of the 18 students will spend two full days on-site at R1 Living’s Webb Crescent development, currently under construction for The Wrekin Housing Group. This placement offers students practical, industry-relevant experience that complements their coursework. Abi Bebb, Business Operations Manager at R1, shared, “As a construction company, partnering with Telford College to nurture future industry talent is incredibly rewarding. Giving students exposure to an active building site allows them to develop practical skills and gain insights that simply can’t be taught in the classroom. We’re delighted to support these students on their path towards successful careers in construction.” Telford College’s Work Experience Coordinator, Ange Jones, added: “At Telford College, we are always seeking new opportunities with employers to help our students get invaluable industry experience. We are incredibly proud to work with R1, who are offering such a fantastic opportunity for our students to be involved in the construction of local homes, building the skills and knowledge necessary for success in their future careers.” #construction #futurecareers #education #shropshire #workexperience Pictured left to right in photograph one: Rose (SHEQ Manager at R1), Jordan (Site Manager at R1), Telford College students Alfie & Cameron, Seb (Site Manager at R1), Ange Jones and Stephen (Development Director at R1 Living).

We’re delighted to share this fantastic aerial photograph showing the significant progress being made at our Webb Crescent development in Dawley!   All plots are now active, with plot 12 at the brickwork and internal fit-out stage, with scaffolding scheduled to be removed in two weeks. Roof trusses are being erected on Plots 10 and 11 using a crane, while Plots 8 and 9 have timber frames up to the first-floor joists. Plots 1 to 7 are ready for scaffolding and timber framing after completing the ground floor slabs. Finally, foundations for Plots 13 to 18 are being uncovered, with foundation blockwork due to start shortly.   We’re thrilled to be delivering 18 energy-efficient homes for our valued client, The Wrekin Housing Group. This project will provide a diverse mix of family homes, apartments, and bungalows - all available for social rent.   With a targeted completion by summer 2025, we’re proud to contribute to this impactful development, which not only enriches the local area but also aligns with our commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable homes.

🎉 It’s our 10th anniversary! 🎉   As we proudly celebrate a decade of dedication and growth, what began as a vision has flourished into a trusted name in the construction industry, built on a foundation of excellence and integrity. Over the past 10 years, our expertise has spanned diverse sectors, transforming ideas into reality and delivering projects that stand as a testament to our commitment.   We remain grounded in our values as a family-run business. Every project we undertake reflects our passion for quality, our pursuit of innovation, and our unwavering dedication to client satisfaction. As we move forward, we’re bringing more services in-house — a step that will empower us to deliver even more competitive offerings to the market.   Reflecting on the past decade, we recall some of our most memorable projects. The ones that have challenged us, rewarded us, taught us invaluable lessons, and ultimately shaped us into the company we are today. From those early days of securing our first orders, whether just a few hundred or a few thousand pounds, and the excitement they brought, to navigating the uncertainties of Brexit and Covid, every step has been a journey of growth. We’ll never forget the moment we received our first order exceeding one million pounds – a milestone that felt like a dream come true.   When we founded the company in 2014, we envisioned a future much like the one we stand in today: surrounded by a dedicated team who share our values and commitment. While we can’t recount every project we’ve undertaken, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on those that hold a special place in our hearts. These are the projects that challenged us the most, where we ventured into new sectors and thrived, where teamwork and innovation delivered incredible results, and where we truly excelled. Each of these milestones represents more than just business; they reflect our passion, perseverance, and the core values that continue to guide us on this remarkable journey.   Here’s to the next decade of growth, challenge, and success – together! 👏   #construction #celebration #shropshire #anniversary #growth

Recent progress at our site in Webb Crescent, Dawley!    We’re making strides at our site in Dawley! The demolition phase is now complete, with our specialist contractors expertly removing the existing properties and garages. The ground working team are making great progress, with footings dug and concrete poured on the former garage area, and protectively covered to form the temporary site welfare and compound area.   The main site is also progressing nicely, again footings formed, poured and foundation brickwork taking shape on the phase 1 plots.   With the road closure for community safety imminent, we are looking forward to seeing the scheme start to come out the ground over the coming months.
