A well-run site tells its own story.

At our Lymm residential project, every stage is being carefully prepared before the next begins.

With the substructure now complete, the site team, Carl, Hamza and Tony are setting the standard for an organised site as they prepare for the ground floor screed, followed by superstructure masonry across five new homes.

Clean, considered and ready for the build to rise above ground.

A new home for early years learning has arrived!

Last week, we were proud to successfully hand over Kids Planet’s brand-new nursery in Sandymoor, Runcorn.

The 5,500 sq ft nursery was completed on time and to our usual high standards, thanks to the hard work of Ashley Taylor, Tony Corr, Max Webster and Sue Ashton. The new learning space is now fully furnished and ready to welcome its first children in early September. ✨

A successful project is always a team effort, so we’d like to thank the client’s design team for their continued support: Gary Boyle at Gary Boyle Associates, John Lingard at Design and Jonathan Hayes at STL Projects Ltd.

We’d also like to thank for continuing to put their trust in Short Construction. It’s been a pleasure to work alongside the team and see their growth over the past few years.

A new chapter is taking shape in the heart of Stockport! 🏗️✨

At Overbanks, the apartment scheme is bringing modern living to the town centre.

We are thrilled to share that roof construction on the new wing is now nearing completion. This site will soon transition into a vibrant community where people live, connect, and make new memories.

We’re incredibly proud to be delivering this development on behalf of Britannia Group, directly supporting the ongoing regeneration of Short Construction’s home town.

A-level results are out today, and thousands of young people will be thinking seriously about what comes next. We hope construction is firmly on their list. 🏗️

Construction is not one career path. It is hundreds. From architecture, engineering and quantity surveying to bricklaying, plumbing, joinery, landscaping, design and project management, there is a route for almost every skill set and ambition.

At Short Construction, we believe everyone in the sector has a part to play. By supporting apprentices, trainees, school leavers and graduates as they take their first steps into the industry, we can help build a stronger construction sector across the UK and, importantly for us, here in the North West.

If you are considering your next step, take a closer look at construction.
