A great sense of pride

C G Fry & Son Limited was the first builder on Poundbury starting back in October 1993. Since that date the independent company has been ever present working with the Duchy of Cornwall and have built, and handed over 650 new homes plus commercial properties. The current phase of development
C G Fry are constructing, is known as the North East Quadrant, leading off of the centre piece of Poundbury, known as Queen Mother Square. This phase of development consists of circa 500 new homes, of which C G Fry will be delivering around 250, together with further commercial space. Within Queen Mother Square itself, C G Fry are jointly delivering with the Duchy of Cornwall, the centrepiece building to the development, known as Royal Pavilion. This stunning building will be completed during 2017 and will consist of 20 luxury apartments, together with a health spa. As a local builder to Poundbury, it has been an honour for C G Fry to be involved in this project from the outset. It has seen the groundbreaking vision of HRH the Prince of Wales take place to create a vibrant community where people live, socialise and work alongside each other. Being involved in this type of project for this long, gives a great sense of pride and it has been fantastic to work with local suppliers, subcontractors and tradesman in achieving such a high quality development on our door step. This pride in quality of the whole of the C G Fry team, has been recognised by the NHBC, with the site construction team achieving three regional NHBC quality awards.“ To have been involved with the Duchy of Cornwall Poundbury since the very beginning has been a privilege for C G Fry & Son. Each year as Poundbury continues to evolve, new areas with outstanding homes and businesses take shape. The latest phase features inspired design, and places even greater emphasis on energy efficiency and reduction of fuel demand. The success of our work at Poundbury is a real testament to our team of talented people. The C G Fry team look forward to continuing their association with the Duchy of Cornwall on this project as it moves forward.”
