HBS Group Southern completes the plumbing, heating and solar PV installations for 200 luxury properties at Bovis Homes Winchester Village development.

In 2016, Bovis Homes (Southern Counties) contracted HBS Mechanical to provide a plumbing and heating installation services package for 200 new homes at the Winchester Village residential development on the outskirts of Winchester, Hampshire.

Designed by renowned local architect Huw Thomas, Winchester Village is a collection of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3, 4 and 5-bedroom executive family homes all built to premium quality specification and energy efficiency. The housing scheme provides 54 properties for affordable rent and 26 properties for shared ownership managed by Hampshire’s leading Housing Association VIVID.

To ensure the project achieved its carbon reduction commitments through on-site renewable technologies, Bovis Homes selected HBS New Energies as its solar PV partner to design and install roof-integrated solar PV systems for the apartment blocks.
