Welcome to Building Buddies
Building Buddies is our new educational programme aimed at children aged 7 to 11 in KS2 (Key Stage Two).
Primary schools, which are local to our Orbit Homes developments, are being invited to experience a unique hands-on site visit, where children can develop their knowledge and skills by safely exploring the site, speaking to the development team, learning the importance of health and safety, and discovering how our brand-new houses are constructed.
