Premier Build, Building Contractors & Consultants, Essex - Background
Premier Build director Peter Seels has a strong and very rounded CV in the building industry. Awarded an honours degree in Civil Engineering, Peter project managed a wide range of building and civil projects including motorway construction, both road and bridge building., for a major national company.
To broaden his experience Peter completed architectural plans for house extensions and loft extensions for private clients. Encouraged at the success of this work he moved into property development, buying properties for refurbishment and resale. In 1984, Peter became a registered NHBC house builder and in 1985 formed Premier Build and has completed new builds to contract and also speculative builds for sale, house extensions, loft conversions and refurbs. The niche of the building industry in which Premier Build is now strongest is house extensions, re-designs, rebuilds and refurbishment.
Focus on Quality in Design & Build
From the outset, Premier Build has adopted its own high standards for the quality of its building work. Says Peter “During my years in civil engineering I saw the huge difference that a committed approach to quality can make. I carried that philosophy through with Premier Build and I am pleased to say that it has paid off.”
Premier Build, building contractors have a very creative approach to building design. We are often awarded building contracts where we are not the lowest price but the home owner appreciates the enhanced designs that we suggest. They also recognise that our designs will add value to the home far in excess of the work offered on a standard quote.
Premier Build - Consideration for the Home Owner
Our philosophy is that when we work on your property, we don’t view it as a building site, we are very respectful of your home and treat it as if it were our own.
Many homes are occupied whilst we are working on them. In such cases, most of the last hour of the day is spent on the tidy up, to present it back to you in a fit state live in. Of course, extension and renovation of a home is a messy business, but we believe that the home owner deserves consideration and our best efforts to leave the building as a home when we have finished our day’s work.
