Heritage & Innovation

Our Journey Building Foundations in Kettering & Beyond

Founded in 2004 in Kettering, we started with small residential and renovation projects—growing steadily through repeat client trust and word-of-mouth. By 2009, we expanded into commercial contracts, and during the 2010s, scaled up into multi-plot housing and developer partnerships.
Today (2025), we’re proud to serve clients nationwide, delivering everything from heritage restorations to high-volume residential builds.
