Ring Stones Maintenance and Construction celebrates completion of Dovestone Gardens

Ring Stones Maintenance and Construction has announced the successful completion of Dovestone Gardens, a pioneering development located in Burnley.

Dovestone Gardens is a 93-apartment complex designed to offer "extra care" accommodation for the older generation, providing the essential support needed for those with additional care needs to live independently.

This state-of-the-art development is designed to meet the growing demand for accessible housing for the elderly, has set a new standard in care accommodation.

The purpose-built complex will serve as a hub for the older generation in Burnley, providing much-needed support in a modern, well-equipped environment.

James Macaree, director at Ring Stones Maintenance and Construction, said: "The Dovestone Gardens project has been a labour of love for all involved.

“It’s a first for us, a project that’s not only the largest we’ve ever taken on but also one that is deeply tied to our values.

"Ensuring that the development made a positive impact on both the social fabric of Burnley and the environment has been at the heart of everything we’ve done.”

The Dovestone Gardens development posed several significant challenges, particularly due to its proximity to Burnley General Hospital.

Environmental responsibility has been a cornerstone of the Dovestone Gardens project.

Aiming to be as energy-efficient as possible, the building has been designed to minimise energy consumption while maximising comfort for the residents.

Solar panels installed on the roof generate renewable energy, while air source heat pumps provide energy-efficient heating and cooling throughout the building.

The project has created numerous job opportunities, with 11 apprenticeships being established during the course of the build.

In addition, three years of service placements were offered, providing valuable experience and skills to young people entering the workforce.

James Macaree added: “We are extremely proud of the team’s efforts on this project. They’ve worked tirelessly to ensure that the highest ethical standards were upheld throughout, not just in the construction phase but also in the long-term social and environmental impacts of Dovestone Gardens.

“This project is a true example of how the construction industry can make a meaningful, positive difference to society.”
