Project Building

What Project Building does

Project Building is a privately held, third-generation family-run construction contractor founded in 1999 by Anthony Milton and headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom. The company delivers residential and commercial building services spanning new builds, extensions, conversions, commercial property projects, and a niche specialist offering in bat roost construction for ecological planning compliance. Its customers include individual homeowners and private landlords, major UK housebuilders such as Linden Homes, and commercial property developers, with project delivery extending across South-West England. The company also operates multi-generational commercial partnerships with Savills, Mitie, and Hartnell Taylor Cook, relationships that reportedly span over 90 years and three generations.

The business operates on a project-based, fixed-price contract model, with pricing determined by individual project scope, size, and complexity. Revenue is generated through one-time construction engagements rather than recurring contracts, and no standard pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The technology footprint consists of traditional construction methods complemented by sustainable building practices; there are no proprietary software products, mobile applications, AI/ML systems, or API integrations. Marketing is driven primarily by organic search and a content resources section on the company website covering planning permission guidance, building costs, and construction advice.

Project Building self-commissions some developments — most notably the Kiln Close five-home project in Wanstrow, Somerset, valued at £1–2 million and completed in August 2018 — alongside its external contracting work. The company relies on third-party structural engineering partners for challenging ground conditions (e.g., mine shafts on the Earl Stone Crescent development) and on utility partners such as Wessex Water for drainage negotiations. With 11–50 employees, no external funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue, the company operates as a small, independent regional contractor under family ownership.
