Where We Work
Across the South West

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.

Navigating Planning & Building
Regulations in the South West

Every successful build starts with the right permissions. We understand that navigating local authority requirements can be the most daunting part of a project – especially in the South West, where Conservation Areas and AONBs (Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) are common.

We’ve gathered the primary resources for the regional authorities we work with most frequently. These portals provide essential information on local development plans, building control standards, and application tracking.

Devon County Council – Resources for strategic developments and infrastructure.
