Left site bang on 12 yesterday, packed up the motor and headed for the Lakes.

Got a few meetings lined up with connections we met on projects over here in the past. Just goes to show, do a decent job, treat people right, and the work comes back round.

But it’s not all work. Brought the family too šŸ™‚ few days of walks, fresh air, and a proper reset.

Phones off (well, mostly), kettle always on.

Nice mix of business and real life. That’s the balance I’m chasing these days.

Substructure brickwork – wrapped up. āœ…
Solid start, tidy finish, ready for the next phase.

This is the bit most people never see – but it’s where the real graft happens.

Get this wrong, and you’re fighting problems for the rest of the build. Get it right, and it all flies up from here.

No faff, no delays, just solid graft from the lads to keep things bang on schedule.

Let’s go šŸ‘·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ’Ŗ

Concrete’s in—brickies are circling like seagulls round a chippy.

2 plots prepped and primed, ready for walls to start flying up.

Bit of sun, good footing, and a ready mix compo from Breedon Group plc that behaves—we’re laughing.

This is the quiet graft—the part that sets the tone for the rest of the job.
No shortcuts, no bodge jobs. Just solid graft šŸ‘Š

Build it right from below, and the rest just flows.

Let’s have it. 🧱

Turns out we’ve been named #1 Best Rated General Contractor in South Tyneside for 2024… and I didn’t even know we’d won it šŸ˜…

Not gonna lie, no fancy speech or big campaign behind this. Just 20 years of solid graft, showing up, doing the job right, and treating clients with respect.

Looks like that’s enough to get noticed šŸ‘€
Big shout to the team and all the clients who trust us with their homes, builds, and projects.

And a cheeky nod to the 200k+ who follow along and keep us motivated to keep raising the bar.

Here’s to more walls built, more dodgy jobs fixed, and more good people served 🧱

We've just landed a monster 60-bed student accommodation job in Middlesbrough, kicking off in four weeks! This is a massive one and a prime opportunity for reliable squads looking for solid, consistent work.

We've also got nine bungalows to build in Northumberland, with to go ahead to speed up the program. Two plots ready to go right now (block and beam being laid today, July 17th!).

Here's the crack: Middlesbrough starts with 2-3 weeks on the substructure. While the floor goes down there, we'll all head to Northumberland to crack on with the bungalows.

No downtime, just straight into the next job.

Our groundworkers will also be pulling out more plots in Northumberland for continuous work while Middlesbrough substructure gets built. So we are looking to have 2 super’s ready to go & 4 plots ready for subs.

We need three experienced bricklaying squads to get stuck in. If you're a high quality squad that turns up on a Monday sober, not full of gear & ready to graft, fire us an email at: [email protected]

Please include your details, phone number, squad size, experience etc. Examples or work would be great too.

When a fellow Bricky pulls into site to pull it to bits!

Yesterday, Carl Harris from Harris Brick Safety Systems, bricklayer & site manager paid us a visit.

And true to form, he had a good old nose around our site, ready to rip into our work.

I knew he wouldn't find a thing.

Our lads are like a well-oiled machine, precision of surgeons and cleaner than my nannas kitchen on a Sunday.

Carl actually commended us on the quality of our work and the pristine state of the site! I'm taking that as a massive win for the team!

He'll be back up soon to see the Harris Brick Safety system in action – so keep your eyes peeled for that. Even though we didn't have ours set up for his inspection, he was chuffed to hear we haven't had any walls blow down since we started using his system.

This North East Development Vanished from the Earth šŸ‘Š

Why We Went Quiet šŸ‘€
When we started this development, we knew it was special & to keep the project secure and focused, we temporarily pulled back on public updates.
We’ve been heads down, getting the job done.

We’re Still Here, and We’re Smashing It šŸ’Ŗ
While the location has been AI-protected in our recent visuals, everything else is real. The quality of the build, the pace of the work, and the sheer effort the team is putting in.

The lads are absolutely smashing it. We’re on site every day, smashing targets, and delivering excellence. This isn't just another development; it's a testament to the hard work and skill of the tradesmen making it happen.

What’s Next?
We’re moving fast and the results are speaking for themselves. We’ll be sharing more sneak peeks (location protected, of course) as we near completion.

Let’s be honest, the construction game is brutal. Everyone wants it now. They want the payday, the quick flip, the instant gratification. Loyalty? That’s a word you hear less often than "on time and under budget."

I started my journey when Nath was in nappies, and I’ll admit, the doubters were lined up. In my last post, I mentioned how few people believed in the vision. But then there’s Big Nath.

He’s the bloke who stuck around when things were rough. He saw the vision, even when it was just me and a muddy plan on the back of a fag box. He’s the real deal—the bloke who’s in it for the long haul, not just the next paycheck.

Finding decent people in this industry is like finding a perfectly level floor on an old Victorian house. It’s rare, and when you find it, you hang onto it.

The Secret to Building a Strong Team šŸ‘€

We’ve all seen the chaos that happens when you hire for speed instead of quality. But when you treat your team right—when you’re fair, transparent, and you actually deliver on your promises—you build something more than just a team. You build a partnership.

I told Nath early on, "Stick with me, and I’ll make sure you get exactly what you want and more." It’s not about finding people to leave behind; it’s about finding the ones you can take to the top with you.

Since then, he’s been climbing that ladder right behind me for three years. And honestly, it’s not just about him following my lead. He's the one who catches the ladder when I slip. He’s there to help me up, and then we’re off again.

We’re finally arriving at the start of that vision I talked about—the next chapter & I can’t wait to see where Big Nath is in the next three years.

Quality brickwork isn't just about aesthetics, it's a tangible asset that contributes to a property's perceived value and buyer confidence.

We don't just lay bricks, we understand the broader context of your project.

Here’s a great example on this timber frame we recently completed.
