Building, Construction & Development

Westshield’s Building, Construction and Development division can handle any aspect of commercial, industrial or residential development. A comprehensive service is offered including initial client consultation, site sourcing and assessment, surveys, ground investigation, supplier procurement, project design and build.

Westshield is proud to work with national development clients including Carillion, Wilson Bowden Developments, Bowmer & Kirkland amongst others. Westshield can also work one-on-one with private residential clients or their consultants to deliver a bespoke project, be it a new build, a redesign or refurbishment. All types of property are within the team’s capabilities, from town centre apartment dwellings to individual multi-million pound mansions.

Basement construction is an area of expertise and this service is offered to other residential developers and general contractors within the UK. Westshield can offer packages, which include everything to DPC allowing the client to focus on the project above ground.

Westshield was one of the earliest members of Constructionline, the UK’s leading register of prequalified constructors, engineers and contractors. This means they have already demonstrated an ability to fulfill pre-qualified tender requirements supported by the DTI.
