What we do.
We stay with a project from the day it is just a plot until after the keys are handed over. You can bring us in for all of it or just one part.
You can commission each service separately, and each has its own quote.
Who does what at each stage.
Madercon coordinates and is your point of contact. The architect signs the design and supervises the works, and each trade carries out its own part. Before signing we put this in writing for your project.

Development and feasibility
We study the site, what you want to build and the options available, before you commit serious money.
If you have a site, a building or an idea and do not yet know whether it is worth going ahead.
- What you receive
- A report on what can be done, what limits it and the next steps.
Engineering and definition
We choose how to build and coordinate it with the architect, the structural engineer and the other specialists, down to the details.
If a structure needs solving, a building method choosing or a solution working out with your architect.
- What you receive
- The alternatives compared and a technical design agreed with the whole team.
Management and procurement
We ask several firms to bid on the same quantities, organise costs by trade and make clear who does what, and when.
If you already have the technical design and need to compare bids and contract well.
- What you receive
- The tender package, the cost schedule and the milestone programme.
Specialist construction
Structures, roofs and buildings in timber or hybrid systems. Each site team is put together to suit the job, with the collaborators who fit it best.
If the works are defined and it remains to decide who builds them and with what resources.
- What you receive
- A construction proposal: what it includes, with what resources and in what timeframe.
Maintenance and care
We draw up an inspection plan for the structure, timber, façades and services, set out what will need replacing and when, and coordinate whoever carries out each inspection.
If you want the building still in good shape in twenty years, with someone coordinating its upkeep.
- What you receive
- The maintenance plan and the inspection calendar.
Where to start.
Usually, with a paid initial study.
Before starting we agree what question it has to answer, what it includes, what it costs and what we hand over. You can commission just the study: it does not oblige you to contract the build.
We work alongside the architect and the project specialists. The signed design, licences and site supervision belong to the professionals who sign them; construction is contracted separately.
How we agree costs and milestonesTimber is our trade, but we look at the whole building.
Timber structures, hybrid systems, roofs and refurbishment. We choose the system to suit the building: the spans it needs, its use, how well it must insulate and how long it has to last.
