Project Overview:

Located in the heart of the scenic Kent village of Newington, this 90-unit residential development for Fernham Homes represents a significant civil engineering and groundworks undertaking. Kingsheath Construction was appointed to deliver a comprehensive suite of infrastructure and substructure works, ensuring the site was expertly prepared for the construction of high-quality 2, 3, and 4-bedroom family homes.
