The framework aims to provide a single point of access to works and services for every part of the development process, from design and site preparation through to a range of consultancy services and the construction work itself.
It is suitable for the construction of both homes and non-dwelling units including, shops, offices and light industrial and industrial units, as well as commercial, community and educational buildings.
The multi-disciplinary framework covers Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and adjoining counties, including north London.
