Made for Living

Revitalising communities through the delivery of high-quality schemes. That’s the mortar that holds us together.

Working with local authorities, housing associations, developers, care and student accommodation providers and investors, we create lasting partnerships and deliver vibrant, sustainable places to live.

We are a lean, modern business focused purely on contracting, land-led solutions and joint-venture developments in Norfolk & Suffolk. Building upon over 20 years experience in the construction sector we have an extensive understanding of all delivery models and have the ability to identify solutions to realise our partners’ visions.

We operate a lean overhead model where waste is our enemy. Low overheads enables us to reduce costs and increase profits for us and our clients and partners.

Contracting: We undertake traditional and design and build main contracting for local authorities, housing associations and private developers.

Land-led Contracting: We offer a complete turnkey land and construction service to our clients. We source land, procure design services, obtain approvals and build-out schemes.

Joint Ventures: We work with developers, local authorities and housing associations to jointly develop housing sites for open market sale.
