We've been involved in hundreds of major projects across the capital, including landmark buildings that have shaped the face of the capital. We were the first tier-one contractor at the Athlete's Village in the Olympic Park. We built the Corinthia Hotel from a dilapidated shell.

We can build homes, hotels, schools, medical centres, parks, playgrounds – every facility our great city needs. And we do it with passion. With sensitivity. With style.

We are very hands-on – throughout the company – and our directors and senior managers are always deeply involved. We have great respect for the trades and great relationships with the professions. Employees and subcontractors appreciate our direct, no nonsense approach.
