What JRD DESIGN & BUILD LIMITED does

JRD Design & Build Limited is a privately held UK construction contractor registered at Oxford House, 8 Church Street, Arnold, Nottingham, with an operating office at Unit 2, 65 South Street, Ilkeston, Derbyshire (DE7 5QQ). The firm employs approximately 8 people and delivers commercial, industrial, and residential building projects nationwide from its Midlands base, stating coverage of the education, leisure, science, retail, and hospitality sectors in addition to its core commercial and industrial verticals. Its service catalogue is broad within the trade: design-and-build, industrial and retail developments and refurbishments, insurance works, suspended ceilings, mezzanine floors, dilapidations, cladding, roofing and sheeting on the commercial side; and building design and planning applications, joinery, property extensions, brickwork, plastering and dry-lining, ground works and drainage, electrical works, heating and plumbing, and roofing on the residential side.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based revenue model. Each engagement is a one-time contract with quote-based, project-specific pricing; revenue is generated from commercial, industrial, and residential building projects (office developments and refurbishments, construction and fit-out of industrial and retail units, new build homes, and property renovations). Distribution is direct-to-client with no intermediary channels, and the primary marketing channel is an Instagram showcase profile (@jrd_design_build) backed by a WordPress website. Reference customers and named projects include Snowden Renovations (retail, leisure, and residential work), The Ruddington Arms (pub refurbishment), a Newcastle restaurant (fit-out), Mayfair Apartments (refurbishment), Basingstoke Warehouse (refurbishment and alterations), Nottingham Golf Club (housing development), and new build homes in Nottingham and Northampton. The company is a privately held limited company (Company Number 0798 76 15) with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, leadership team details, M&A activity, certifications, or proprietary technology platform; technology adoption appears limited to standard construction tooling and a WordPress/Instagram digital presence.

Emerging players

• ISG: UK fit-out and construction specialist focused on commercial interiors and refurbishment — comparable to JRD's retail fit-out, pub refurbishment and commercial refurbishment workstreams.
• Spence Refurbishment & Construction: Midlands-based refurbishment and fit-out contractor focused on commercial and residential projects. Comparable niche competitor in JRD's regional refurbishment market.

Direct peers

• Robert Woodhead: Midlands-based regional contractor delivering commercial, residential and public-sector projects. Closely comparable regional peer of similar size and service mix.
• Clegg Construction: East Midlands-based contractor serving commercial, education, leisure, healthcare and residential sectors across the UK. Comparable in scale, sector spread and Midlands geographic base.
• G F Tomlinson: East Midlands-based general contractor delivering commercial, industrial, residential and education projects across the UK. Closely comparable in regional footprint, project mix and design-build delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Morgan Sindall Group: Public UK construction and regeneration group covering commercial, residential, infrastructure and fit-out. Sets the broader competitive context for design-build regional contractors.
• Seddon Group: Larger UK construction firm with comparable multi-sector capability (commercial, industrial, residential, refurbishment). Provides a like-for-like benchmark at greater scale.
• McLaren Construction: UK-wide construction group with residential, commercial, retail fit-out and industrial divisions. Direct sector overlap but at materially larger scale.
• Willmott Dixon: Major UK contractor active in commercial offices, education, leisure and residential — many of the same sectors JRD serves. Operates as a broad incumbent comparator.
• Kier Group: UK national contractor covering buildings, infrastructure and residential. Industry overlap spans JRD's commercial, education and residential focus.
