Corella

What Corella does

Corella Construction is a privately-held, family-run building contractor founded in 2018 by Paul Aubrey and Aisling Wicks. The firm is headquartered in Melksham, Wiltshire, and operates across SouthWest England — including Bath, Bristol, BANES, West Berkshire, South Cotswolds, Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire. Its core offering comprises six integrated service lines: Extensions (single-storey, two-storey, kitchen, orangery, bungalow, wrap-around), Renovations (full-home, bathroom, recladding, luxury, open-plan, apartment), New Builds (custom, eco-friendly, luxury, commercial), Conversions (loft, garage, hip-to-gable, mansard, attic, barn), Sustainable Construction (renewable technologies, eco-friendly materials) and Landscaping. The firm holds FMB, TrustMark and Building Safety Group accreditations and uses BuilderTrend for project management.

The underlying technology is conventional construction combined with sustainable practices — ground-source heat pumps, solar, rainwater harvesting and reclaimed-oak traditional methods — rather than proprietary software or platforms. Corella employs a sales-led go-to-market model: customers initiate contact via phone (01225 690049), email ([email protected]) or a website quote form, with a 24-hour response commitment and fixed-price contracts offered where possible. Pricing is quote-based and unit-priced at £2,000-£3,000 per m² for extensions and £1,500-£2,500 per m² for renovations, with full renovations starting from £80,000 and new builds typically running 6-12 months. Customer segments are horizontal and weighted toward individual homeowners and architects, with developers and landlords as secondary personas. No AI, app, or API capabilities are disclosed.
