☀️ BIG NEWS - we now have received full planning approval for our most ambitious project to date: Haus Hwb, a flagship community-led manufacturing and training facility designed to put people and nature at the heart of housing development in Wales.

Based at Crofty Industrial Estate and building on a 20-year track record, Haus Hwb will scale up our unique model of working with excluded and at-risk communities. It will enable people to design and construct homes using home-grown timber and natural materials to the highest sustainability and health standards, including those set out in the new Welsh Government Tai ar y Cyd Pattern Book for social housing.
