With over 100 local staff the firm has in-depth understanding and expertise in construction, project management and specialised services, and can undertake projects that the founder would never have dreamed of.

In particular clients benefit from a complete range of services from fixed and fluctuating price tendering and design & build to development partnerships and term contracts.


All this provides the company with confidence to look for further growth under new managing director, Brian Rice. ‘ I will be focusing the companies’ strategy on growth, employing local residents to sustain a business that will be able


to deliver quality building within budget,’ he said. Brian, who is a member of the Chartered Institute of Building, spent five years at a construction company in the South West, but says that he’s delighted to be back in Jersey where he has fond memories.


Oak framed residential development


A large oak framed residential development including a three storey oak cylindrical stair tower with a conical roof and floors with radiating oak joists. The project has been constructed with a green oak frame enveloped with local Jersey granite.


The roof has been constructed with oak trusses clad in naturally coloured clay roof tiles. The windows and doors have been hand handcrafted in teak, and a bespoke staircase made in oak.


We have worked closely with our Clients, ensuring that the building (including fixtures and fittings) has been tailored to their exact requirements. Services installations have been concealed where possible (e.g under-floor heating) to ensure minimal impact on the traditional nature of the building.
