From first dig to final finish… the new fishmongers at Pearce’s Farm Shop is now complete.

What started as an idea has turned into a fantastic new building that everybody involved can be proud of. A huge team effort from start to finish, with trades, suppliers and everybody on site pulling together to deliver something really special.

The feedback so far has been incredible. The owners are delighted, the fishmongers are thrilled with their new space, and best of all, the customers have absolutely loved it.

Projects like this are what it’s all about for us — creating quality buildings that not only look great, but genuinely add something to a business and the people using it every day.

Thank you to everybody involved in making this happen. Another great project completed.

Buntingford project update 🚧

The temporary walls have now been moved back to allow us to prepare for the major knock-throughs to the rear of the property. This morning we held a full site meeting with the entire team to discuss exactly how we’re going to execute the structural openings and the breaking out works to the back of the building safely and efficiently.

More demolition has been completed today and we’ll also be exposing sections of the existing foundations, along with the foundations to the front extension, as groundwork starts moving forward today.

Big progress being made every day on this one and the transformation is really starting to take shape.
