Malabar by Spitfire Homes is situated on the rural edge of Daventry, and is a showcase of new and sustainable two- to five-bedroom homes, designed to meet Zero Carbon Ready standards, with features including Solar PV panels, battery-ready provisions, air source heat pumps, and EV charging points.
Malabar will also incorporate 50 acres of open space, a new school, nursery community centre and food and retail units.
Spitfire Homes is an award-winning homebuilder creating communities across in the Midlands, who are recognised for a focus on delivering design-led properties for modern lifestyles.
Having collaborated with Spitfire Homes on three previous collections, Stairways was the chosen manufacturer for doors on this new project, supplying internal pre-finished oak Cottage-style doors for every home in the first phase, including the three show homes and the Customer Suite.
Stairways will also continue to work with Spitfire Homes to supply doors for the second phase of Malabar, and more projects are in the pipeline.
Mike Smith, Senior Site Manager at Spitfire Homes, has been awarded with the prestigious NHBC Pride in the Job Award and Seal of Excellence, for his work at Malabar, Daventry.
The NHBC Pride in the Job Award honours site managers for demonstrating outstanding standards of construction and site management, with his win placing Mike among the top professionals in the field.
As a partner and members of the project site team under Mike, Stairways was incredibly proud to receive an NHBC Quality Awards certificate from Spitfire Homes, thanking them for their “invaluable support” in the creation of Malabar.
Mike said: “This award is a recognition to the hard work and dedication of the entire team at Malabar. It brings me great pride to be involved in building a new community and I look forward to continuing to welcome customers into their new homes.”
Kieran Pavier, Senior Buyer at Spitfire Homes, said: “We are pleased to be working with Stairways at Malabar and appreciate their commitment to providing a fantastic product across multiple phases of the collection, and alternative sites.
The Cottage doors perfectly align with the high standards and quality we take pride in delivering to our customers.
It’s rewarding to work with a team that shares our commitment to quality and takes pride in what they do. We look forward to continuing to work with Stairways in the future.”
