WHAT WE DO & Why we do it

Our focus at GBWL is to work alongside the architect and/or our clients from the early stages to understand the overall concept of the project and to work together to ensure we achieve and meet all of the client’s brief and exceed their expectations.

This could be also to help work through sourcing and the using of alternative methods or materials, looking at the cost effectiveness using our years of practical knowledge to assist the architect and the owners in constructing and completing a superior build.

We also understand embarking on a new build is often one of the biggest decisions you will make and choosing the right builder and team to work with will be an integral part of the process, not only ensuring excellence but that you as the owners enjoy the overall experience. Nevin is both an experienced builder and project manager with more than 20 years of architectural build and management experience.

Within the GBWL team we have strong relationships we have built over the years with our subcontractors who also understand our client’s vision and equally set the same high standard of workmanship.
