Construction

About Us...

Following developing a successful consultancy business we have branched out into specialising in providing building services for the commercial and residential sectors, including refurbishment, new build and extensions.

Hallam Read Construction has a professional background and concentrates on making sure everything is very clear before we even start on site. This approach ensures there are no unexpected costs during and on completion of our projects.

Our site management team prides itself on being from a trade background, this invaluable level of experience has provided our clients with quality projects for the right price and on time. Following this reputation for quality we are developing long term relationships with a number of clients and architects throughout the country.

Why We Are Different:

Our directors come from different disciplines of the building process, one being from a solid trade background and the other from a commercial back ground. This unique combination provides the experience of buildability whilst controlling the cost of the design.

So often we see our clients being offered designs that are expensive and impossible to build, we ensure these are rationalised and provide exactly what the client needs for the most economical solution.
