Bateman Groundworks is about to start work on the first phase of a Taylor Wimpey development at Wymondham that will see more than 1,200 homes built in the next decade at Silfield Road.

Another Bateman team will move on to Taylor Wimpey’s new site at Back Lane, Hethersett to start groundworks for the first phase of another development of more than 1,100 homes.

And on a third contract, the company has started work with Bovis Homes for another development at Wymondham.

The contracts begin as Bateman completes work on a Taylor Wimpey development of 128 homes at Costessey, which has taken four years. The Costessey construction team will move to start Taylor Wimpey’s Hethersett contract.

Bateman Groundworks, which directly employs more than 160 people, now has teams on 15 housebuilding sites with major developers across the region.
