We are a construction company that puts people first.
The communities that spring up in our developments are at the heart of what we do. For over 35 years, we have been collaborating with organisations and communities around the South of England from our base in Portsmouth.
We are specialists in residential.
We have a strong focus on residential construction including affordable housing, apartment blocks, urban regeneration, sustainable housing, passivhaus and private-rental schemes. We have also worked on conservation projects, care homes, schools and student accommodation.
The benefit of our experience
With 35 years trading behind us, we know what works well and what doesn't. We are able to manage projects safely and we'll value-engineer each project to provide the best value for money. We have never submitted a claim for delays.
How we Work
We work smart
We pre-empt the problems, create risk registers and tease out all the issues before we even set foot on-site. A detailed project team will review and sign-off all plans before our specialist consultants start the design stage. Read more about what to expect when you work with us.
A core, dedicated team
We employ around 300 construction professionals whom we trust to deliver. We create local training and apprenticeship opportunities and support people in developing their careers. Our workforce thrives when solving problems as a team.
A sustainable supply chain of specialists
Over the years, we have developed a supply chain of consultants and specialist sub-contractors to complement our workforce. This approach means specialists can bring their unique skills and perspectives to each project, adding value where and when needed.
What to expect when you Work with us
Depending on the complexities of the project, a client's first point of contact will be our Construction Director (CD). The CD will head-up the tender and if awarded, will then work on the pre-construction phase of the project…1
As the pre-construction phase begins, the CD will brief the project manager. The aim here is to review all aspects of the project to manage risk before the project moves onto the next phase.2
Now armed with all the right information, the project manager can now attend meetings and take ownership of the project. This allows the CD to gradually back away from the detail so they can retain an overview of the project.3
The project manager will then brief the design manager on the requirements. They’ll share the same office and work together to produce a solution that is well thought out. This process is the bedrock of any successful project.4
Every week, this activity is reviewed by the project team at a team meeting. Each team member will report on progress depending on the phase of the project. This meeting enables the CD to communicate progress (and any issues) back to client in one comprehensive report.5
Once the project moves into the construction phase, the weekly meetings continue and other team members are added to bring in their own specialist skills.6
We believe that early engagement is the key to a successful project. Having a senior but cost-effective process that headed by a Construction Director ensures quality from tender through to completion.7
But our process doesn’t stop there. We also offer a 2-year Aftercare service which is headed by our Aftercare Team. They provide support and maintenance for 24 months following completion of the project.8
