  • Documented policies and procedures to minimise risk on building sites
  • An embedded culture of safety training, and steps taken to consider team welfare

Aiming for zero accident reports

We're proud that we already have a very low level of accidents. This is due to ongoing behavioural based safety training which acknowledges that human error is a frequent cause of minor and serious injuries.


The aim of our behaviour-based approach is to reduce the occurrence of risky behaviour through observation, feedback, and positive interventions.

Mental health matters

An an employer of a largely male workforce, working in an environment that has a reputation for keeping troubling emotions bottled up, we aim to break the taboos that stop men from asking for help.


We are open about mental health issues, and offer help and support to team members struggling with anxiety, depression or other forms of mental distress. We are working towards having qualified mental health first aiders available at all times.

Our team is like family to me, and if someone is struggling, I'll be there to support them.
