Derby construction firm, Hodgkinson Builders, has launched its own home sales division.
After more than 30 years of building and contracting, the team behind Derby based Hodgkinson Builders has set up Hodgkinson Homes, to enable the firm to sell its own brand new homes on the open market.
Operations director Robert Hodgkinson made the announcement to coincide with the start of construction on Rosarium Heights, a forthcoming 10-home development off Clifton Road, in Ashbourne.
Robert said: “We are passionate about housing and building dreams. This makes perfect business sense as we have all the resources – and the demand for housing is there, so why not?
“For many years, we’ve had the skill set, the labour and the enthusiasm to do this. It’s a natural progression to our core business that I’ve been keen to do for a while.
“This development in Ashbourne provides the ideal opportunity to launch Hodgkinson Homes.”
Rosarium Heights, named after a cottage that was historically on the site, will consist of a collection of bespoke two, three and four-bedroom homes. First completions on the site are expected in the autumn.
