Scott's Journey

I entered the construction industry in 2018 after leaving college midway through an engineering course that no longer inspired me. Working full-time in construction, I gained hands-on experience across extensions, patios, renovations, and general building projects. Over four years, I developed strong practical skills, particularly in bricklaying, under the guidance of an experienced and patient builder who helped shape my craft and confidence on site.

In 2022, I briefly stepped away from construction to start a marketing agency with my cousins, driven by the idea of building a location-independent lifestyle. While the concept was exciting at first, it quickly became clear it wasn’t the right path for me. Throughout this period, I continued working in construction to stay grounded, and ultimately we chose to close the business once we realised it brought neither fulfilment nor enjoyment.

In 2023, I began attending church and building my faith, which led to a renewed sense of purpose. Today, I feel called to serve my local community—particularly those who need reliable, high-quality building work but may not have access to expensive tradesmen. By shifting my focus from personal ambition to helping others, I’ve found genuine fulfilment and honour in the work I do, and I’m grateful to continue this journey with purpose and integrity.

Jacqueline Brown

"Scott recently replaced our rotting decking with a beautiful porcelain slab patio. Scott is so friendly, reliable, an extremely hard worker and his standard of work is very high. We are delighted with the end result and I would thoroughly recommend him."

Jeannie Wigmore

"Scott carried out some repointing on a brick wall at the rear of my property plus he built me 2 new dwarf walls at the front of my property. His work is highly meticulous and he really pays attention to detail. A very personable young man who is very customer focused. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone wanting work carried out. A total credit to himself and the brickwork industry."

Brian Reid

"I had a large dividing wall with crumbling brickwork that needed knocking down and re-building. Scott helped us choose better bricks and did the whole job in under 2 weeks. The finished result is extremely good and we are so happy with it. The workplace was kept clean throughout and Scott took care of all the deliveries and waste removal. I am giving him some more work around the site and have no hesitation in recommending his work."

Stewart Manegold
