Hull-based construction firm KWL has expanded into housebuilding with the launch of KWL Homes, aiming to meet the rising demand for quality housing. The firm, owned by Hull City Council, is starting with a 27-home development at Matheson Close near Sutton Golf Club, offering a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom houses designed for a range of buyers.
With £51 million in turnover last year and a workforce of 500, KWL is positioning this expansion as both a business growth strategy and an investment in Hull’s economic future. The company plans to integrate an apprenticeship programme to train new tradespeople, addressing industry skills shortages.
Estate agency William H Brown has been appointed to manage sales, while Sangwin Architects is overseeing the design, which prioritises contemporary aesthetics and practical living.
KWL, established in 2007, provides maintenance and refurbishment services to over 23,000 homes in the Hull area. The firm also owns a small portfolio of rental properties and focuses on restoring vacant homes to support urban regeneration.
