We are delighted to confirm that Rund has been appointed to Abri’s new Employer’s Agent framework, where we are set to support the housing provider in the delivery of their development pipeline over the next four years. Under the new framework, we will be providing Employer’s Agent, Clerk of Works, and Principal Designer (CDM) services on projects across Abri’s main operational regions of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
Abri owns and manages over 50,000 homes, reaching 114,000 customers across the UK. Committed to providing high-quality, sustainable homes, they are investing £689m in their existing housing stock over the next ten years to improve building safety and energy efficiency. Between 2020 and 2035, Abri will also invest £15m in communities to improve health and wellbeing.
The framework appointment follows on from a variety of projects Rund has been proud to work on with Abri, including Sawyers Close, Windsor – a regeneration scheme that will create over 400 new affordable homes, as well as a community centre and play space at an existing residential development in the Dedworth area.
Our Employer’s Agent, Clerk of Works, and Principal Designer services will support Abri in their plan to deliver 10,000 homes by 2030, ensuring affordable housing is built where it is needed most. As Rund continues to provide high-quality consultancy on affordable housing projects, our appointment to Abri’s framework underlines their recognition of our commitment to this sector.
Tim Woodman, Associate Director at Rund, commented: “We are delighted to be appointed to Abri’s new framework, following our ongoing working relationship with the housing provider. Our appointment as Employer’s Agent, Clerk of Works, and Principal Designer will enable us to work with Abri to provide our expertise to their projects. We look forward to collaborating with them to bring positive outcomes to communities across the south of England.”
