			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are building a contemporary 3 storey house on a tight urban site in a Victorian Street. The house will have a specialist design glulam glazing feature on the front and rear elevations with part factory finished render where the house is being construcyted direclty on the boundary line.</p>
<p>All the elements of this very special house are being individually designed and manufactured to ensure that the very highest quality is delivered throughout the building. The house sits in a tight urban site with no access to the boundary on one side therefore we will deliver the building with the finished coat render already applied with the rest of the building having the top coat applied after it has been constructed.</p>
<p>The house will have a highly effcient thermal envelope with an expected very low air leakage rate thereby ensuring that it will cost very little to both heat and cool the building.</p>
<p>The house is due to be assembled on the 13th of August, if you wish to view this please get in contact with us via the Contact page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EBS welcomes the new National Planning Policy Framework and is delighted that at long last Sustainable development is not regarded as something to be seen as a choice but is a mandatory requirement for all developments.</p>
<p>The EBS elk building system will give tremendous benefits to all architects/developers when they apply for planning using our sustainable, environmental and ecological building system. Please contact us to discuss how we can help you with your new developments&#8230;.</p>
<p>In the meantime here is part of the introduction to the policy from the Minister of Planning.</p>
<p>“S<em>ustainable </em>means ensuring that better lives for ourselves don’t mean worse lives for future generations.</p>
<p><em>Development</em> means growth. We must accommodate the new ways by which we will earn our living in a competitive world. We must house a rising population, which is living longer and wants to make new choices. <strong>We must respond to the changes that new technologies offer us.</strong> Our lives, and the places in which we live them, can be better, but they will certainly be worse if things stagnate.</p>
<p>Sustainable development is about change for the better, and not only in our built environment.</p>
<p>Our standards of design can be so much higher. We are a nation renowned worldwide for creative excellence, yet, at home, <strong>confidence in development itself has been eroded by the too frequent experience of mediocrity.</strong></p>
<p>So sustainable development is about positive growth — making economic, environmental and social progress for this and future generations.”</p>
<p>RT Hon Greg Clarke</p>
<p>Minister for Planning</p>
<p>To read the whole policy document go to <a href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/2116950.pdf">http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/2116950.pdf</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>EBS elk are to build a stunning Georgian style 9,000 square foot house and garage in a beautiful rural setting in Hampshire. The project will be in two phases, first the garage will be built and then the existing house will be demolished and the new one built in its place.</p>
<p>The client is an experienced property professional who has chosen to use the EBS system above all others due to its thermal efficiency, exceptional quality and considerably reduced program. We are working with local architects Witcher Crawford on producing a very detailed and precise plan of what will be a truly fabulous family home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is what the Headmaster had to say of EBS elk and their new building</p>
<p>&#8220;The speedy and efficient growth of the building from site clearance to near completion, ahead of target has been staggering. We have all watched the buiding grow from the foundations up in amazement. The children have of course thoroughly enjoyed watching the process.  I would like to say a massive thank you to you and your company for the wonderful job that you have done. I would be most proud to show any prospective clients that you may have around the school and new building.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yours sincerely</p>
<p>Alex Gear</p>
<p>Headmaster</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>erect architecture with Tall Engineers, Max Fordham, Huntley Cartwright and Landuse Consultants have won an open design competition to design the post-Games North Olympic Park Hub and Playground.</p>
<p> EBS Elk supported erect architecture during the competition by providing cost and design information to integrate EBS Elk&#8217;s closed timber panel system into the design. The EBS Elk system optimises thermal performance, efficiency and speed of construction producing a low energy/carbon emission building. </p>
<p> Andrew Altman, chief executive of the Olympic Park Legacy Company said: ‘We were impressed by the creativity of all the design concepts but erect architecture really captured the character of the Park as a compelling destination.</p>
<p> ‘These spaces will be one of the first new public spaces and facilities added to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It is another example of how legacy plans for the Park are more advanced than any other previous host Olympic city.’</p>
<p> EBS elk are very pleased to have been able to support the competition winning team.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The house that EBS elk have constructed in Barnes has now been finished and we have pictures of the complex structure and the tremendous finish that the Contractor has produced for the client.</p>
<p>It has a great feeling of space and openess created by the clever use of an internal courtyard, completely opening glazed doors and large spans using a steel and timber cleverly within the structure. We hope that you will agree that this is a truly unique building and one which not only shows off the ability of EBS elk to work in difficult Urban sites but also ones with complex structures.</p>
