Large commercial steel frame and brick clad. Including traditional roof and glass frontage.

This is around 15,000 sqft

Gray Court

This is a combination structure. Three storey office and dual use unit covering B1,B 2 and B8. This was custom built on a very prestigious estate with neighbours like Finning Caterpillar, Auto Windscreens and large local business.

Brought in on budget.

Chesterfield Office and unit

This site was purchased from the Chatsworth Estate and comprised of 5 Large barn conversions and 8 executive detached. All in a conservation area. These were completed in 18 months running at a profit of 38%

Palterton

A 22 home mid executive twin cul-de-sac. This was purchased off of the Church of England as the last part of a 7 tier purchase option deal spanning 11 years. It broke the mould for the area at the time and sold faster than any other site I have built.

Glebe Gardens

This site is where I cut my teeth as a foreman, site manager and later as construction Director. It took over a decade to built and consisted of over 300 houses.

North Wingfield Site

Even though other sites were being built at the time ( 3 sites over two counties) This was the long standing site that had over 200 specialised foundations and was the corner stone of my construction education.

North Wingfield Site 2

This site is within 3 miles of the Elite Technology Park and certainly prepares me for overall and local knowledge.

North Wingfield Site 3

By this stage of the site build I was covering three sites. This one, Mickley (38) and Gray Mews(6). I also built 68 dwellings at Tupton, 6 at Dale view and 3 other sites

North Wingfield Site 4

This Mansion house was built covering over 6500 sqft to a very high specification and still stands as one of the largest and most expensive new builds in the town.
