Main contractor Skanska has welcomed Swedish housebuilder Trivselhus to the scheme to deliver 28 new homes on a 0.67-hectare plot in Deepcut. This latest appointment marks the third house builder to secure land at Mindenhurst.
Trivselhus will now submit a detailed planning application to Surrey Heath Borough Council and could complete construction before the end of 2020. The company will deliver low carbon, high-specification properties created using offsite manufacturing techniques to provide fixed-cost homes and minimise construction programmes.

Mindenhurst is being delivered by Skanska on behalf of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), with each phase of new homes allocated to individual house builders. The first and second phases are being built by CALA Homes and Bovis Homes respectively. Further phases will be released as the scheme progresses. Skanska is also delivering key infrastructure, such as new roads, as well as community amenities and accessible green spaces.
"Adding Trivselhus to our developer portfolio at Mindenhurst is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate what can be achieved by taking a modern approach to construction methods," said Leisliane Garcia, Development Director at Skanska.
John Harris, Managing Director at Trivselhus, added: "These homes will be very energy-efficient, built using sustainable materials, to enhance the local area, while minimising the environmental impact. We look forward to working with Skanska on this scheme."
Mindenhurst will provide around 1,200 new homes by 2025. The masterplan also includes a new primary school, 69 hectares of public green space, a pub, shops and business premises.
