The group has created a framework and appointed 12 local and regional contractors to its development framework to support its ever-growing development programme.
Designed to support the size and scale of the group’s construction activity in the Liverpool City Region, Cheshire and Lancashire, Torus will work with appointed contractors on a number of sites over the coming years.
Contractors will work with the development team to continue its expansion into regions outside of its traditional investment areas of Liverpool, St Helens and Warrington and will support multiple new-build projects.
Discussing the group’s decision to launch its development framework, director of developments and sales Steve Alcock said: “Our development programme is growing at pace and its scale is surpassing our forecasted projections, meaning having an established framework of contractors is paramount to ensuring we meet our target of building 5,300 homes by 2024.
“We have always strived to work with local partners and support our regional supply chain and, after the impact Covid-19 has had on the construction industry as a whole, that commitment has never been stronger.”
