PAS NW lands Wain Homes work
The Warrington-based firm has been appointed as the housebuilder’s civil engineering delivery partner on a 430-home project in Cottam, one of Preston’s main housing growth areas.
PAS said this is one of the largest projects it has ever secured. The firm will deliver a full civils package, including roads & sewers, comprehensive groundworks, and Section 278 works.
This latest win comes on the back of other appointments including schemes at Moss Nook, St Helens for Watkin Jones and Torus, and Peel Hall Garden Village, Warrington for Vistry Group and Torus.
PAS is also already working with Wain Homes at Cardwell Farm, Barton.
Dave Andrews, operations director at PAS NW, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Wain Homes on such a high-profile scheme in Cottam. We know our client well from what we are delivering on site at Cardwell Farm in Barton and it’s great to see Wain Homes once again putting their faith and trust in us.
“Delivering the full roads, sewers, groundworks, and 278 package is right in the sweet spot for our business — it’s what we do best.
“This is a landmark project for PAS, and it’s exactly the type of development we’ve been targeting as part of our growth strategy. We’re focused on bringing the right expertise, resources, and commitment to deliver it to the highest standard.”

Enabling works are now underway with PAS, as principal contractor, designing the compound for all site operations.
The project will not only deliver housing in what is a strategic growth area for Preston and Lancashire, with a raft of housebuilders advancing projects of scale, it will also provide enhanced infrastructure and community benefits for Cottam’s growing population.
Andrews added: “This is a scheme that matters to the local community – a community we know well for our work in this part of the region at neighbouring Barton, Cottam and Eccleston.
“The houses that will be created will be first class and we’re glad to be playing a part in that on behalf of our valued client.”
Consent was established in July last year for the development, which is the third stage of Wain Homes’ Paddocks development to the north-west of Preston. Maybern Planning & Development advised the housebuilder.
