What PAH Building & Construction does

PAH Building & Construction Ltd is a UK private construction services firm founded in 1998 (predecessor) and consolidated into its current form in 2017, headquartered in Droxford, Hampshire. The company operates three integrated service lines: large-scale estate refurbishment and retrofit (external wall insulation, roofing, windows, solar PV, air source heat pumps, fabric-first methodology targeting EPC A ratings), insurance reinstatement of fire- and flood-damaged properties for loss adjusters and insurers, and specialist new builds on challenging sites (e.g., flood plains, community facilities). Underlying technical capability is craftsmanship- and process-led rather than software-led: the firm holds CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 (UKAS PQAL), and NHBC accreditations, and delivers projects using a fabric-first energy-efficiency methodology combined with dedicated family liaison protocols for occupied sites.

The business is founder-led by Managing Director Trevor Wilkins and Director Mark Cuttriss, with a team of more than 25, and generated approximately 20% growth in 2024 with expected turnover of £12 million for the current financial year. Revenue is generated entirely on a project-based professional services model, secured through competitive tender and direct engagement with enterprise customers — primarily the UK Ministry of Defence supply chain (DIO, Amey, Mitie, Vivo Defence Services), private and listed residential estate owners (Annington), housing associations (Housing Solutions), surveying practices (Gateley Smithers Purslow), and community/sports clients (Wiltshire FA, Devizes Town Council). Geographic reach spans the southern central UK corridor as far north as Yorkshire, and the firm operates exclusively through direct project engagement with no intermediary or channel distribution.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: directors are personally involved in client meetings and on-site work, and 25-year client tenures signal high trust and repeat engagement. Recent strategic emphasis is on talent pipeline build-out (apprenticeship partnership with Basingstoke College of Technology, T-Level engagement with Sparsholt/Andover College) and ESG/decarbonisation positioning (Property Week ESG EDGE shortlisting, 98% waste recycling rate, ~500 tonnes of construction waste diverted from landfill annually).
