Company Ethos


The Directors believe that Coyde Construction is well placed to offer a service that combines the Traditional Qualities of a Small Business with the Experience and Expertise of a Large Company and ensure that they themselves maintain an integral and active role in the day-to-day running of projects and the Company as a whole. The unique structure of the company allows flexibility and the ability for clients to interact directly with key people in the organisation, who can make decisions and take appropriate action to achieve the objectives of individual projects.
All Coyde Construction personnel have successfully delivered schemes of high quality within budget and programme. Our team’s approach will always be to look at cost effective solutions and value engineering of the project to ensure value for the client whilst offering the same level of service and with quality.
A common misconception is that value engineering is just a cost cutting exercise. If approached from this point of view, the wider benefits of the techniques may well be overlooked.

Through adopting this approach, we have been able to realise the following benefits:

  • Clarification of the brief separating Clients needs from Client aspirations
  • Improved performance through efficiency savings
  • Identification of alternative designs, solutions or locations
  • Identification of alternative construction methods
  • Empowered staff through multi-disciplinary teamwork
  • Enhanced service/product quality
  • Identification of risk
  • Identification of additional functions that improve the outcomes of the project
  • Improved staff morale, commitments and relationships
  • Rationalisation of the project programme
We are passionate about our business and pride ourselves on our high standard of workmanship, focusing on quality, health & safety, continuous training for our staff and offering apprentiships to ensure the skills required for our company to thrive are maintained. By developing relationships with local sub-contractors and suppliers we have established a robust, trustworthy quality supply chain.

 

Our Team


Our Site Managers have both the appropriate technical abilities and interpersonal skills that allow for an open and honest relationship to develop. This enables the project team to move between boundaries and come to a greater understanding of the needs and perceptions of one another and identify both opportunities that could enhance the overall outcome and also any potential problems that may arise which could put the scheme at risk.
We also have a team of knowledgeable office based staff who are able to offer support and advice to our customers during the whole project delivery process.
