Construction work has commenced on a new housing development in Nettleham, Lincolnshire.
Work is progressing on the access road, which will be complete by Daniel Charles Construction in six months.
Local firm Truelove Property & Construction is delivering the new site, which will house 68 new three, four and five-bedroom homes.
A Facebook competition was held to decide the name of the development, which will be called The Dalderbys after Bishop John Dalderby, first Lord of the Manor of Nettleham.
Sophie Barrett, Sales Manager at Truelove Property & Construction, said: "This will be our first site in Nettleham and it's a fantastic location: a very attractive village setting with lots of amenities yet very close to Lincoln itself.
"Our new homes will be built to a very high spec and finished in the classic, distinct and bespoke Truelove way.
"There will be a mix of houses and bungalows and we expect the whole development to be highly sought after thanks to its location and to the quality of the build."
Dan Ingall from Daniel Charles Construction added: "We're very pleased to be working with Truelove again. It's always great to partner with local businesses and we've worked with Truelove before so we know things are going to go smoothly!
"We're using state-of-the-art GPS machine control technology on this project which enables us to work more efficiently and to a greater accuracy. This reduces waste and ensures a better quality finish.
"We are also aiming to recycle excavated material on site which will cut down on transport movements and so reduce the carbon footprint of the development."
The show home on site is expected to open to the public in spring 2020.
