Description of project, services and products supplied This award winning mixed use eco-village was developed to strict sustainability criteria. One of these was that all materials used in construction should be sourced within a 35 mile radius of the development.

Working within this and other environmental criteria we sourced and supplied the following reclaimed materials whilst staying within budget.

  • 54,000m of timber studwork
  • 98 tonnes of structural steel
  • 700m2 floorboards
  • reclaimed timber street bollards
  • shuttering ply

All materials were supplied with the appropriate structural certification.

The BedZED development has since been short listed for the Stirling Prize for Architecture and has become internationally acclaimed. It receives over 2000 visits each year from architectural professionals and students. BioRegional Reclaimed have based their offices at the development.

The reclaimed and low impact building materials used on BedZED formed part of the Zero Energy strategy which was the bedrock of the ethos behind the project.

For further information about the materials used on BedZED, read the BedZED Construction Materials Report available from the BioRegional Development Group.
