Heritage

Milestone 01 / 08

Our history.

Seven decades of British housebuilding lineage, through Bullock Construction, United House and United Living to BREE Construction today.

A working method honed across hundreds of schemes, measured, numerate, specific to client and place. Today: build-to-rent, multi-family, affordable, specialist living, student-accommodation and land-led, with A1 NHBC and Premier Guarantee.

Mid-century

1955

D T Bullock & Co incorporated

A family-run housebuilder is set up in the North West post-war, as Britain embarks on its largest civilian housing programme since the Victorian era. Incorporated as a private limited company, the legal entity that, seventy years and four name changes later, will become BREE Construction. The first decades focus on regional housing and care work for councils and registered providers across Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire, laying down a measured, numerate delivery method that still holds today.
