Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on our ability to tailor and deliver packages for customers; including construction, timber kit, scaffold and joiner work all by one business, with teams working collaboratively toward a shared goal.
We ensure the best value for our clients by balancing the use of in-house resources and an approved, established supply chain.

Our experienced, technically minded and motivated staff work as a team to manage the challenges and risks associated with individual project requirements to achieve success and ultimate customer satisfaction. This commitment is underpinned by the strong and lasting relationships we forge with our clients.
A LASTING LEGACY EVERYWHERE WE GO
Not only is it important for us to deliver an exceptional finished product that customers, project stakeholders and the local community fully recognise and endorse. It’s also important that we go the extra mile to make a difference to local people and organisations; undertaking volunteer work, getting involved in community projects, supporting local community organisations, donating resources for community enhancement and sponsoring community events.
Our expertise across our five divisions and ‘one-stop-shop’ quality set us apart in the marketplace. Our open and honest approach forms the basis of forging and maintaining strong and mutually beneficial relationships with clients, stakeholders and communities on all projects.

During 1997 we were awarded with our first contract of many with Glasgow University.
In the 2000's we turned over our first £1m, following work on some of Scotland's most iconic buildings including The Hunterian Museum.
In 2006 the demand for our skilled labour force on a particularly complex job led to a diversification into roofing repairs - subsequently joinery work - and JR Specialist Services was formed.
During 2008 we successfully achieved our Asbestos
Ancillary Licence.
In 2010 we moved from our original office in Govan to Paisley as part of our future growth plans.
We went from strength to strength and by 2010 with the growth of our divisions, we reached 100 employees.
Due to demand for skilled labour force, we started our first intake of
apprentices during 2013.
