The Building Businesses
Co-operative

We’re a cooperative of small to medium-sized trades and regeneration businesses, working together on projects across the UK. Our members include all key trades: From joinery and electrics to fit-outs and finishes, think interiors firms and even building supplies.

We’ve delivered for major clients like BUPA and The Hilton.

By cutting out corporate contracting firms and layers of middlemen, we lower costs, take control, and deliver better results – with clearer communication and stronger accountability from start to finish.
