Where We Work
Across the South West
From our headquarters in Yeovil, we provide building and construction services across Somerset, Dorset, Devon, and Wiltshire. Our directly employed team gives us the mobility to handle large-scale residential and commercial projects throughout the South West.
Local Experts Based In Yeovil
Our base in Yeovil puts us in the perfect position to serve a huge variety of properties across Somerset and the surrounding counties.
Being local means we’ve handled it all – from historic Hamstone cottages in Sherborne that require master masonry to
massive dairy processing plants in Exeter that need heavy-duty structural engineering.
While the areas listed are our most frequent stops, we are always happy to travel across the South West for commercial
and residential clients that need our specific expertise. If you’re located nearby but aren’t sure we can reach you, just give us a call.
