It’s fair to say that, in the 10-year history of Eden Facades, the last two have posed the most challenges for us as an industry. The perfect storm of materials and labour shortages, combined with the ongoing impact of the pandemic, has only strengthened our resolve to always ‘be great people and do a great job.’
Strong performance as we enter our 10th year
Recommendations for projects in 2022 – with both new and existing clients – have come not only from our ability to deliver a great result, but also through our commitment to working honestly and transparently. We know that clients value our forthright approach and the peace of mind that our years of experience affords them.
We’re always delighted when a company we’ve worked with before asks us back to work on a new project, and we’re pleased to say that over the coming months, we’re going to be teaming up once again with Berkeley Homes, Kier Construction, Darwin Group and RG Carter, all of whom we’ve worked with in the past.
At Eden Facades, we’ve been careful to maintain our reputation for quality and reliability over the years, and part of this for us means going the extra mile to assist our key clients where we can.
Oval Village, London
Oval Village is an exciting housing project in Central London next to the Oval cricket ground in Kennington. Less than a 10-minute walk from three tube stations and surrounded by parks and shops, bars and restaurants, this is a prime London location. We’re delighted to have been brought on board for this project by Berkeley Homes, who we previously worked with on the West End Gate residential site near Marylebone.
