New Builds
We design and construct bespoke residential and commercial properties to exact client specifications. Our NHBC-registered new builds incorporate modern energy-efficient standards while maintaining traditional craftsmanship. From foundations to final finishes, our team manages every stage of the build process, ensuring compliance with planning regulations and client expectations. Projects range from single homes to multi-property developments.
Barn Conversions
Specialists in transforming agricultural buildings into functional living spaces while preserving historical character. We work with original materials to maintain authenticity, creating open-plan layouts with modern amenities. Our expertise includes structural reinforcement, insulation, and integrating contemporary systems into period structures while meeting conservation area requirements.
Commercial Refurbishments
Comprehensive upgrades for business premises with minimal operational disruption. Services include structural modifications, MEP installations, and compliance with health and safety regulations. We handle projects from small unit refurbishments to large-scale industrial rebuilds, ensuring timely completion within agreed budgets and operational constraints.
Property Extensions
Design and construction of single or multi-storey extensions to increase living or commercial space. We specialise in seamless integration with existing structures using matching materials and techniques. Projects include kitchen expansions, conservatories, and full property extensions with coordinated planning and building control approvals.
Loft Conversions
Transform underutilised loft spaces into functional rooms while maintaining structural integrity. Our sister company Barber Lofts delivers habitable conversions with proper insulation, staircases, and ventilation. We handle planning permissions, structural calculations, and finishing touches to create additional bedrooms, offices, or living areas.

This is a nice little roadhouse on Old 27 with great service and local character. Don't drive through Wolverine without stopping by for a pop, a beer, or something stronger. It's a can't-miss rest stop for a weekend drive or ride!

The food is good, but if you drink pay close attention to your bill! I had a few drinks at our campsite and walked over to order a bacon cheeseburger w/fries & mini tacos. My friend and I each had a drink (I had a Canadian Mist, neat and a glass of Coke, my friend had a raspberry vodka & lemonade). If I had paid attention when I gave the surly cook & waitress a $10 tip, I would have noticed that I had been charged $57!!!! Plus the $10 tip! I know there's nothing to be done, but it's very disappointing after going there so many times. A bar's staff that cheats customers who are having a good time

The food is the best I had a bacon cheese burger I could tell the meat was fresh not frozen. The bacon was thick and smoky the burger was a 1/2 lb juicy I ordered olives and they were generous with all the deluxe toppings the tomatoes was ripe and omg its was perfection
I had 2 large root beers and 2 labats bottles of beer the bill was under 20 bucks
I think that was a great price
The place was clean the staff was polite. I'd go back in a heart beat
