What we build

Four trades, one team

Whatever the job, you get one contract, one programme and one site manager. Our own crews do the heavy work, so the price you sign is the price we can build for.

01

New build

Houses, apartment blocks and offices, from foundations to finishes. We take the drawings and turn them into a building, with one site manager for the whole job.

From a single house to an eleven storey block. We price from your drawings, give you one fixed programme and one site manager, and our own crews do the concrete, the frame and the envelope. Specialists we bring in have worked with us for years, so nobody on site is meeting for the first time.

  • Groundworks and foundations
  • Concrete and steel frames
  • Brick, render and cladding
  • Fit-out and handover

02

Design and build

Bring us a plot and a budget. We bring the architect and engineers to the table early, so the design is priced and buildable before anyone signs.

Bring us a plot, a brief and a budget. We put the architect, the engineers and our estimators at one table before the design is fixed, so every line on the drawing has a price and a way to build it. You sign one contract and talk to one team.

  • Feasibility and site studies
  • Design team led by us
  • Planning and building control
  • A fixed price before we start

03

Civil works

Bridges, retaining walls, roads and groundworks. Heavy plant, our own operators and a crew that knows how to work next to live traffic and water.

Bridges, retaining walls, roads, drainage and earthworks. We own our heavy plant and employ the operators, which means the excavator turns up on the day it was booked. Our crews are trained to work next to live roads, railways and rivers.

  • Bridges and structures
  • Earthworks and retaining walls
  • Roads and drainage
  • Work next to live traffic

04

Refurbishment

Old buildings with new lives. We strip back, strengthen the structure and fit out while the neighbours keep their peace and the street stays open.

Old warehouses into offices, tired blocks into homes. We survey the structure before we price, strengthen what needs it and keep the neighbours on side, with clean hoardings, quiet hours and a phone number that someone answers.

  • Structural surveys
  • Strengthening and repair
  • Facade and roof renewal
  • Fit-out in occupied buildings

How a job runs

03 Structure

Frame, slabs, roof.

04 Envelope

06 Handover

Tests, keys, aftercare.

Questions

What size of project do you take on?

From a single private house to around 40 million pounds. Below that we are happy to recommend a smaller builder we trust.

Do you work outside London?

Yes. We have depots in London, Bristol and Daventry and work within about two hours of each.

Can you price from early sketches?

Yes. We give a budget range from sketches and a fixed price once the design is far enough along.

Who will I talk to during the build?

One site manager from start to finish, and a director who visits every two weeks.
