38 PROJECT REPORT
THE HOUSEBUILDING INDUSTRY IN GENERAL NEEDS TO PLACE A MUCH GREATER EMPHASIS ON BUILDING HOMES FOR ‘LAST-TIME BUYERS’
This was certified by enewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) and resulted in 405 tonnes of CO2
over the duration of the build. GRAHAM also invested in using hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) on the project – a 100% biodegradable product that can offer a 90% reduction in net CO2
emissions. In total, 52% of
the fuel the contractor used onsite was HVO which resulted in eliminating 204 tonnes of CO2
e. The project team also
worked closely with a waste management contractor to ensure all non-hazardous construction waste generated throughout the project was diverted away from landfill.
LIFESTYLE
Arguably one of the most crucial differentiators for Audley is the clubhouse and the benefits it offers residents. It allows people to mingle with others within the community,” explains O’Hare. “That is at the heart of everything that Audley does.” As well as the facilities

themselves, various organised events and activities are scheduled such as arts and crafts sessions and fitness classes. The landscaping has also been finished in a way that encourages socialisation and external activity among the residents. With some residents already moved in, the reaction has been very positive. “The client is extremely happy with the quality and what they’ve got,” O’Hare says. Alongside the amenities, residents are also offered peace of mind with the various care and assistance packages available – whether regular or as and when required.
The overall ‘package’ offered by the development is about much more than just a place to live, and is something O’Hare believes is not only an aspiration, but crucial for such schemes. “It’s the sort of thing everyone who works aspires to, to have a quality of life beyond your working life,” he says. “The more people are able to enjoy their retirement this way, the better.”
