The firm runs an in-house joinery workshop that manufactures the timber frames, doors and windows used in its construction projects, providing vertical integration of structural component supply.

The business operates a project-based, direct-sales model, engaging clients on individual construction engagements from start to finish across the Social, Public and Private sectors. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure, and the company maintains an 11-50 employee headcount with apprenticeship pipelines.
