There are a lot of young people on this site. Lunchtime in the large canteen, one of three sittings, is a bit like being back at university. Walking round the job, there are almost as many women as men, with a woman smiling from the wheel of most pieces of construction equipment. Everybody is happy here. The senior managers are greeted with waves, handshakes and even a hug. It is actually several projects in one: six residential blocks, a central building for events and gatherings, an office block, two warehouse buildings, a sports hall and swimming pool. From here, the organisation will print its magazine The Watchtower, and carry out work related to online publication and translation. Some volunteers have worked on the site for years, some come for a few days, some just for one day. Cady and Rob McRedmond, the project director, have been delivering projects for JW for 33 and 27 years respectively — though this is the first time they have worked together. Those who are working on site for a while, stay on site. Four of the six residential blocks are already occupied by volunteers. And there is also a village of caravans. This live-work approach to construction has been lauded by BREEAM assessors as an admirable way to reduce carbon emissions and congestion on surrounding roads.

To make their operation run smoother and more efficiently, the decision was made to relocate to Essex. Preparation work began on the site in with construction starting in This was a substantial project — the second largest construction scheme the organisation has undertaken — and includes administration and language translation offices, video and sound production studios, and a training auditorium. A water treatment plant and over apartments to accommodate staff and guests were included in the scheme, set amid gardens, ponds and landscaped walkways. We were asked to supply trees, hedging, herbaceous plants and shrubs for the various gardens and landscaped areas. The site had previously been contaminated through its use as a scrapyard.

Plus there will be one and two bedroom apartments - for up to 1, residents and visitors - along with onsite caterers, laundrettes and healthcare facilities. The site would also have its own energy centre - making it self-sufficient - and a new access road would also be built from Temple Wood. The land, currently occupied by a car breakers yard, was removed from the green belt by Chelmsford City Council in and earmarked for employment use. IBSA agreed to buy the land from its current owners in December, as long as they get planning permission for the project. The council did not confirm who the current land owners were.
