Done right, it can increase value, open up new spaces and create opportunities. Connection Construction Ltd has rapidly risen to amazing heights in the market, with projects including housebuilding, development and renovation. In the light of the team’s award-winning success, we profiled the company to find out more. ince being established in 2016, Connection Construction has gained a reputation for high quality developments. As the practical building arm of parent company Connection Investments Ltd, a specialist in property development, the team has been responsible for a wide range of projects. Perhaps uniquely, this makes Connection Construction its own biggest clients with much of the work sourced from the parent company. In terms of practical development, it’s clear that Connection Construction has a great deal of ability in its team. Led by Graham Guthrie, a man with over 23 years of construction to draw on, they have been able to work on everything from building brand new developments through to porches or hard landscaping. No matter what size the project is, it is completed to a high standard. Key to these high standards is clarity between client and contractor. The team at Connection Construction have worked tirelessly to ensure this, with software investments to keep track of any changes and agreements that have been worked out. This means that any work done on site has not only been agreed for, but paid for. In turn, the client receives complete transparency throughout a project. Every part of the process is broken down and priced using a detailed quotation system. This is not the way in which every business operates, but it is a superior way of working. While some companies might seem like they’re offering an excellent deal, vagarities usually transform into substantial costs later on. The success of Connection Construction’s approach is not only do clients fully understand the process throughout, but that those who do use them will do so time and time again. As in all business, honesty plays a major part in achieving success. Of course, every project has its own challenges and surprises, and there are a number of different ways of handling this. For Connection Construction, the team always turn to a client with a solution as opposed to the problem. The reason they have been employed is to make something happen successfully, and anything less is unacceptable. It is always in everyone’s best interest to resolve any issues as swiftly as possible, which is why the team is committed to this approach. S Looking forward, new environmental measures will change the way in which buildings are constructed. The need for new methods and ways of thinking has been a challenge even for this forward-thinking company. That said, it has risen to the challenge with timber frame structures being used to pass the present regulations. The importance of keeping up to date with developments is essential and the company is committed to taking new opportunities. Currently, the team at Connection Construction are redeveloping a Grade 2 listed building into a large 14-bedroom HMO, as well as a new build structure that will add seven more bedrooms, all of which will be en-suites. This project is being completed for parent company Connection Investments. A project yet to be secured with another investor could see Connection Construction building six two-bedroom houses with two one- bedroom apartments. It’s a workload that should see the company busy through the year. In all, it’s no wonder that Connection Construction has proven such a capable partner for investors. Its transparency and clarity mean that information is communicated quickly and swiftly creating a great deal of trust. It’s an approach that has brought it an immense amount of success for all concerned. Contact Details Company: Connection Construction Ltd Contact: Gordon Long Website: www.connectionconstruction.co.uk
