A family-owned London contractor, established 2014

We concentrate on small to medium sized projects — from small extensions to medium-sized new-build developments — across East London, North London, West Essex and North Kent.

Background

Built on repeat clients and recommendations

We are a family-owned company established in May 2014. Family members involved with the business previously worked in construction-related industries, and that experience shapes how our sites are run today.

A large proportion of our business comes through repeat investor clients and recommendations — and some through enquiries from passers-by who like the work they see on our sites.

Our Philosophy

How we work

01One professional teamWe work as part of the team with the Architect, the Structural Engineer and the approving authority — focused on delivering on time, to the client’s satisfaction.
02The best of materialsWe use quality materials to provide a quality, lasting product.
03A consistent crewWe retain a core team — and as much of the wider team as possible — from project to project, so quality stays consistent.
04Trusted suppliersA small group of trusted suppliers gives us good discounts on quality materials, reflected in our prices.
05Constructive on changesWe work constructively with the team on changes to negate or minimise costs to the client.
Working Relationships

Part of your professional team

We work as part of the team with your Architect, Structural Engineer and approving authority — and we are flexible about the approving authority of the client's choice. Building control bodies we have worked with include:

Local Authority Building Control (LABC)NHBCBLPBuild-ZoneAccent Building ControlLondon Building ControlIndependent inspectors & surveyors

Alongside a trusted supply chain of specialist subcontractors, consultants and material suppliers built up over a decade — which lets us buy quality materials at rates that are reflected in our prices.

Track Record

A record we protect

  • We have completed every contract we have undertaken.
  • To date we have never had to handle a dispute with a client.
  • Through COVID lockdown restrictions we kept sites managed and delivered two projects on time.

Our aim is to grow to a manageable size while staying focused on small to medium sized projects — quality product at competitive rates.

Absolutely delighted. The project was undertaken and delivered professionally despite the challenges with the supply of material during the post-COVID period. The construction and finishing is to a very good standard.
