The Man Behind The Work

Harry Budd

Owner & Founder, HB Construction

Harry's been in the trade since he was a young lad, and there aren't many corners of construction he hasn't worked in since — groundworks, brickwork, landscaping, carpentry, the lot. That kind of all-round experience is genuinely rare, and it's exactly what HB Construction is built on.

What matters most is that Harry never stepped off the tools. He's still on-site, still hands-on, on most jobs that go through the company — not managing from a distance, but making sure the standard holds on every single one. When HB Construction takes on a project, Harry's name is on it, and that's precisely why the quality doesn't slip.

What We Do

One team, most of what your project needs.

From the ground up to the finishing joinery — handled by the same team throughout.

Groundworks

Excavation, foundations, drainage runs and site prep — the part of the job nobody sees but everything else depends on.

Brickwork & Blockwork

Extensions, garden walls, retaining walls and structural blockwork, built plumb and true with proper pointing.

Landscaping

Patios, driveways, fencing and garden groundwork — outdoor spaces built to handle real weather, not just look good on day one.

Carpentry

First and second fix, decking, framing and bespoke joinery — finished properly, not rushed to hit a deadline.

Please note: we cover general building, groundworks, brickwork, landscaping and carpentry work. We don't carry out certified trade work requiring specific accreditation — gas, electrical (Part P) or water regulations work — and would recommend a certified specialist for those elements of a project.
