Buckmore Green is the latest development from award-winning housebuilder Dandara, on the edge of the beautiful South Downs and built with a strong emphasis on landscape.
Continuing its relationship with structural flooring manufacturer EGGER, Dandara has specified EGGER Protect flooring boards on the development, chosen for durability and its contribution to streamlined build schedules.
Delivered by Dandara, Buckmore Green is an exclusive new housing development located in the market town of Petersfield, on the edge of the South Downs National Park.
Comprising a beautiful collection of 85 units, ranging from two-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom homes, the properties are designed to complement their surroundings, with materials, designs and architectural features reflective of the local character.
Speaking about the development, Luke McCarthy, Site Manager at Dandara, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do; we’re building homes for the future and for the community. Our houses have a variety of sustainable features, including air source heat pumps, solar panels, EV chargers and enhanced insulation, all compliant with Part L of the Building Regulations.”
At the core of any house build are structural flooring boards, heavy-duty and load-wearing panels that are installed directly onto floor joists to form the main subfloor.
Luke continued: “As a site manager, my priority for any flooring product or system is always for it to be durable and easy to handle for my teams on site, as well as positively contributing to quality and speed of build. It’s for all these reasons and more that we work closely with EGGER UK.”
EGGER and Dandara have been working collaboratively for a number of years, with a specification agreement in place for EGGER’s Peel Clean Xtra and Protect structural flooring systems.
“All products are designed with the build team in mind,” explained Luke. “They’re lightweight for the trades to carry, provide protection against the working environment and are durable; they can be installed in all sorts of conditions, enabling us to continue the build effectively. For us, working in construction in England at different times of year, you can be faced with all manner of weather conditions. The 100-day exposure rating offered by EGGER Protect provides the freedom to be a bit vulnerable at times, giving you added time to continue with the build, without worrying about weather damage or delays.”
Trusted by housebuilders nationwide, EGGER offers a wide range of structural flooring boards, with each product undergoing rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest industry standards. EGGER Protect can be left exposed to the elements for up to 100 days and has been classified with a ‘Low Slip Potential’ by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). When installed with EGGER Joint & Joist Adhesive, all products benefit from EGGER’s Advanced Lifetime Guarantee.
Mike Tozer, National Housebuilding Account Manager at EGGER, added: “We’ve been in partnership with Dandara now for a number of years, working collaboratively and discussing their sustainability requirements. We’re really pleased to support Dandara with our portfolio of structural flooring systems, as they continue to grow and expand at brilliant developments, such as Buckmore Green.”
Zoey Rampton, Head of Sales at Dandara Southern concluded: “Buckmore Green is a really exciting launch for us because it captures what makes Petersfield such a special place to live. It’s rare to find a site where you can walk into town one way and be out on country paths the other, and that balance has shaped every decision we’ve made.
“We’ve taken a thoughtful approach to how the homes sit within the landscape, creating a neighbourhood that feels settled and connected rather than over-engineered. This is about building homes that work for real life, in a place where people can put down roots, feel part of the town and enjoy the outdoors on their doorstep.”
Based in the South of England, Dandara has been creating and building award-winning homes for over 30 years, recently achieving 5* customer satisfaction from the Home Builders Federation survey for the sixth consecutive year.
