Sigma Homes have considerable in-house land, planning, construction and technical expertise
The Sigma Homes Group prefer to take a collaborative approach to planning wherever possible, working closely with the local authority, resident interest groups and other key stakeholders to bring forward sensitively designed housing developments that reflect the local vernacular & character of an area.
The Sigma Homes Group is very well funded from our own internal resources and has the financial resources required to meet the expense of those projects that we are working on. This means that decisions can be made swiftly and are never constrained by external funding considerations.
We have a very experienced team led by Chief Executive Geoff Potton and Group Land Director Chris East, who’ll be happy to discuss your land queries with you.
