Project Management

The core of our business focuses on the negotiation of competitive pricing and supervision of projects we have obtained Planning Permission for. We have completed a large portfolio of projects with various building contractors, engineering companies and suppliers around the country. We can recommend trust worthy ad reliable contractors where our clients do not have a preferred choice. We aim to achieve the best job possible for the best price at all stages of development.
We have over 40 years experience in supervising the construction of farm buildings. Our service includes the processing of applications for Grant Aid. This complete package has proved to be invaluable to our clients as we are the single point of contact from the initial meeting to completion of the project. This is an attractive service to farmers as holdings become larger and time constraints are more apparent. We believe we are unique in the service we provide within the farm building sector.
We employ a Chartered Engineer to ensure all our works comply with relevant standards.
