Kent County Council taps Galliford Try for extensive housing scheme

Housebuilding and construction group Galliford Try has managed to secure the £38m contract for the Kent County Council’s ‘Excellent Homes for All’ scheme, a news report in the local media has revealed.

Approximately 240 houses are expected to be built by Galliford Try’s Partnerships business under the terms of the deal.

This large-scale scheme will also involve the creation of a special purpose vehicle managed by Galliford Try Investments to develop social housing for vulnerable people in Kent, while the Facilities Management branch will also provide ongoing hard and soft facilities maintenance and lifecycle management services through a contract worth £36m.

Galliford Try chief executive Greg Fitzgerald said: "We continue to demonstrate our expertise in providing high quality facilities for vulnerable people.

"The multi-faceted nature of this contract provides further evidence that our diverse business allows us to offer clients integrated solutions to solve their problems."

Naturally, given the huge size of this undertaking, it will certainly involve a fairly large number of contractors, and this is the reason why any developer embarking on such a task should also implement a very solid and reliable time and attendance system, and Time & Attendance South East offers the necessary expertise to provide customers with a complete and comprehensive bespoke solution, that will perfectly fit their requirements.
