VIRES Partnerships

VIRES Partnerships is a key player in the South East England housing market, operating as a partnership contractor and housebuilder. As part of the family-run Roddy New Homes Group, established in 2019, and significantly backed by the £3 Billion Salboy Group, VIRES possesses substantial financial strength and expertise. They specialise in partnering with Registered Providers, Local Authorities, Build-to-Rent operators, and Institutional Investors to develop high-quality, low-energy homes, with a strong focus on brownfield sites across the Home Counties.

The company prides itself on a bespoke approach, assessing local requirements and community impact to ensure the optimal mix and specification of homes. Their in-house capabilities span land sourcing, planning, technical design, and construction phases. VIRES is recognised for its reputation in delivering well-designed, sustainable homes, meeting ESG requirements and aiming for Net Zero by 2030.

Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their extensive use of modern methods of construction, particularly timber frame, and their ability to achieve high EPC ratings, often B or A, with capabilities for Passive House standards. VIRES champions sustainable construction, with over 90% of homes built using modern methods like timber frame. They actively reshape brownfield sites, with over 90% of their delivered homes on such locations.

Leveraging their group's civil engineering company, Rockport Civil Engineering, they achieve over 90% on-site material reuse, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. The company also operates a self-delivery model for key activities including civil engineering, groundworks, brickwork, and drylining, ensuring control over quality and delivery programmes. Their operational capacity allows them to undertake contract packages between £5 million and £50 million, supported by a large team and a network of supply chain partners.
