Regional housebuilder Bargate Homes has started work on The Bluebells, a 43-home residential development in Bedhampton, Hampshire.
Regional housebuilder Bargate Homes has officially commenced construction on a new 43-home residential scheme in Bedhampton, Hampshire. The development, named The Bluebells, forms the second phase of the firm's residential footprint in the area, following site clearance works on land located west of Old Manor Farm and south of the existing St Thomas Mead community.
The project represents a continuation of private and affordable housing delivery in the Solent region. Bargate Homes, which operates as a regional developer in the South of England, is bringing forward a mix of property sizes to follow up on the sales momentum of its adjacent completed phase. Groundworks and initial infrastructure are now underway to prepare the plot for main structural builds.
This build phase contributes to local housing delivery targets in Havant Borough, providing ongoing subcontracting work across multiple trade disciplines over the coming construction cycle.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For local groundworkers, bricklayers, carpenters, and electricians in Hampshire, the project provides a steady pipeline of site-based subcontracting opportunities and merchant demand. While it does not directly alter national retail prices for tools or materials at Screwfix or Toolstation, regional site starts of this scale keep local merchant stock moving—particularly structural timber, heavyside building materials, and drainage supplies across Travis Perkins and local independent yards in the Portsmouth and Havant catchments. Self-employed tradespeople eyeing sub-contract work should watch local supply chain tenders as the site progresses past foundational stages.
