Barton Field working with the BEWI system

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Blue Bay Developments selected the BEWI ICF system for the high-performance, cottage-style homes at Barton Field in Newton Tracey. This development blends traditional character with a modern and energy‑efficient construction method.

WHY WE CHOSE BEWI ICF

As first-time users of the BEWI ICF system, we were impressed by its technical capability and ease of integration into our build process. Key advantages included:

• Exceptional thermal performance with continuous insulation
• Reduced thermal bridging and increased airtightness
• Strong structural integrity due to the concrete core
• Faster, more predictable construction via lightweight, interlocking components

Both Mark, Catherine and the team found BEWI’s communication excellent, especially during our extensive research and ordering, where the process was clear, responsive and well supported.

SUPPORT & TEAM EXPERIENCE

BEWI provided hands-on support during the initial construction stages and the concrete pour of the first property, ensuring our team felt confident with both the process and the system. Their on-demand technical guidance was consistently helpful, and any queries from our team were answered quickly and clearly, giving us real confidence as first-time users.

Our team enjoyed working with the ICF method, finding it logical, efficient and noticeably quicker than traditional masonry. The simplicity of the system helped maintain strong progress on site.

RESULTS & RESIDENT FEEDBACK

The completed homes deliver impressive performance and quality:

• Reduced energy consumption and improved heat retention
• Comfortable, stable temperatures year‑round
• Excellent acoustic insulation
• A robust, low‑maintenance building structure

Residents who have now moved in are already appreciating the comfort, warmth and quietness of their homes, reinforcing the value of the ICF approach.

FUTURE USE

Following the success of Barton Field, we fully intend to use BEWI’s ICF system on future developments. Its combination of build efficiency, reliability and long‑term energy performance makes it an ideal solution for the high‑quality, sustainable homes we aim to deliver.
