Primary school children will get an insight into how homes are built as part of a new educational programme being launched by Orbit Homes.

‘Building Buddies’ is aimed at children aged seven to 11 (Key Stage Two). Local schools will be invited to experience a hands-on site visit, where children can develop their knowledge and skills by safely exploring the site, speaking to the development team, learning the importance of health and safety, and discovering how new houses are constructed. 

There will also be an opportunity for the children to build a home of their own, with a special 3D model house which teaches young Building Buddies the build stages of a new home.
