About
If there’s one thing we’ve learnt over the years, it’s that planning is everything.
Our approach
It’s all about getting as much planned up front as possible. Meticulously going through every detail with you, our client. From budgets, drawings, planning and regulations, down to the colours of the door handles.
This way there are fewer hiccups along the way. And if there are any issues, our team will do everything to get them sorted, we believe it’s worth it to do the job right. Are we verging on obsessive? We hope so.
We offer end-to-end services including Design & Planning, Plumbing & Heating and Electrical & Lighting meaning we have an overview of the entire project. What does this mean for you? Control of the budgets and programme and continuity of teams and standards. We always consider the bigger picture.
Our people
A drive for quality and excellence doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t have the people to carry it out. We’re lucky to have a team who all share the same commitment to delivering the best experience and results to our customers.
Building is in my blood. My father was in the building trade before me, and the principals of honesty and quality he held are what make us who we are today.
For me it’s all about passion and morals. From giving clients clear and transparent tenders, to not resting until every tiny detail of a build is perfect. The team around me feel the same way.
They’re like-minded people who would rather go that extra mile to deliver on everything, than cut their losses and deliver something not quite right. I think that’s refreshing in the building sector and I hope you do too.

I've been with SBS Design & Build for four years now and my role is so rewarding. I manage the project right through the building process to bring ideas to life, including renovations, new builds and eco-friendly projects. Before that, I'd worked as a tradesman for SBS Design & Build for two years. I love being client facing, working together to make sure everything is carried out to their specification - and to the highest quality and best value. Every project is different too, with its own challenges, which makes it even more exciting.

I joined SBS Design & Build in 2020 as a Quantity Surveyor. My career started, however, back in 2011, working on local building sites. As I became more knowledgeable and experienced I worked my way up to site management, and then to cost and project manager on builds with a value of up to £7m. I then worked for the biggest construction company in the South West, gaining further in-depth knowledge and understanding of procedures required to estimate and manage costs and projects in detail.

I joined SBS Design & Build in 2019 doing accounts and administration. It's wonderful working with such a close team, learning more about building and seeing how each project progresses. I live locally with my young family, and enjoy the weekends walking our dog in the countryside and doing DIY

I've been with SBS Design & Build for just over a year. My background is Pubic Sector HR and I bring many years of experience, all with a planning background. HR is more than just a 9 – 5 job - and being on hand when staff need help is important to me. I'm also going to be taking a leading role in Health & Safety as we move forward, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge!/p>
