Derbyshire-based Phoenix Brickwork provides brickwork and scaffolding services to expand HMP Bullingdon in Oxfordshire. The project includes a new fully electric, four-storey T60 houseblock, increasing the prison’s capacity by 247 places.
The expansion is part of the UK’s Accelerated Houseblocks Development Programme (AHDP), which aims to add 20,000 prison places across six sites. The initiative will create over 2,000 construction jobs and 750 roles within the new facilities.
The T60 houseblock, built using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), features off-site manufactured components to reduce carbon emissions. The design improves visibility and access to rehabilitation services while aligning with the Ministry of Justice’s sustainability goals.
Phoenix Brickwork’s subsidiary, BMH Scaffolding, is also supporting the project. The expansion includes additional facilities such as a workshop, a programme building, and an extended recreation area.
