We have completed many design and build projects, varying from residential developments and refurbishments to complete redevelopments of brownfield sites, utilising a range of materials and designs including traditional style homes, contemporary homes, conversions and modern, passivhaus, sustainable new build homes, blocks of flats, sheltered housing and special needs accommodation.

Around 80% of our turnover comes from new construction and refurbishment in the social housing sector. Parrott Construction work in partnership with Housing Associations to successfully design, build and deliver multi-tenure developments including affordable housing, private sale housing and specialist tenure properties. This sector knowledge and expertise sets us apart from our competitors. We can begin a project at the ‘conceptual’ stage and manage development right up until handover and beyond for the housing association.
A collaborative approach can bring many benefits: better performance, better overall quality, greater innovation, design integration, buildability and fewer disputes. It can also bring stability to a project, with more predictable timescales and costs. We believe that successful partnering is based upon good working relationships where each party contributes expertise and shares goals. We pride ourselves on working with our clients to provide construction solutions that satisfy all parties, and we always consider the end user of our construction projects, be they residents, staff, patients, teachers or pupils.
We coordinate architects, surveyors, planners and other professionals on the client’s behalf, thereby maintaining construction best practice at all times, ensuring the project is delivered on time and within budget.
We are immensely proud of the projects we build, combining traditional craftsmanship with the latest innovations and technologies and we are committed to delivering infrastructure that is resilient against future impacts such as climate change and energy demands, creating smartly designed buildings that are of great value for generations to come.
