About Us

Founded in 2010, CMT Construction is a multi-disciplinary construction business delivering construction, project management, and portfolio management across the residential, commercial, hospitality, education, industrial, and development sectors. From the outset, our strategy has been consistent: to develop and maintain long-term client relationships by delivering reliable outcomes. Nearly 80% of our turnover comes from repeat business, reflecting the trust our clients place in our workmanship, service, and delivery standards—and supporting consistent year-over-year growth.

We are proud to be both agile and dynamic, combining hands-on leadership with robust delivery systems. Our senior management team brings over a century of combined experience across construction and development, and we convert that depth of knowledge into demonstrable quality and maximum value on every project. We take client objectives seriously and with care; whether it is a small residential build or a major commercial development, our teams work collaboratively from inception to completion to understand requirements, manage risk, and deliver with clarity and accountability. Our core goals remain constant: best value, excellent quality, safe delivery, and on-time performance.

CMT Construction is also committed to continuous improvement through modern methods of working. Our building information and cost modelling capability, alongside offsite manufacturing and fabrication partnerships, provides greater certainty on quality, time, and cost—supporting faster, smarter delivery without compromising the standard of finish. By combining traditional values—craftsmanship, integrity, and pride in delivery—with a modern approach to planning and execution, we offer clients something genuinely distinctive in our market.

OUR HISTORY

CMT Construction was established in 2010, with roots in the business dating back three generations. Every milestone since 1948 reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the enduring family tradition of construction. The trade began with parents passing down expertise and training to their sons and daughters—starting their careers as apprentices and growing into professionals shaped by the discipline and responsibility of site delivery. Throughout our history, we have had the privilege of completing major construction projects, often for leading developers and end users. In addition, the current management team brings a wide and impressive portfolio of projects delivered across multiple sectors, strengthening our ability to apply proven methods while tailoring solutions to each client’s objectives. Our recent success has relied on our ability to evolve with the market—adopting the skills, techniques, and supplier partnerships required to deliver to specification, on programme, and within budget, without compromising quality. Continued investment in modern construction methods, collaboration with key suppliers, and relationships with offsite fabricators have enhanced our capability and helped us maintain long-term, trusted relationships—particularly with our oldest and most loyal clients.

Development &
Precontract

Our Strategic Planning & Development services are tailored to each client’s specific requirements, ensuring every project is well-conceived, rigorously planned, and delivered efficiently. Early engagement with our experienced team improves outcomes by identifying opportunities, managing risk, and resolving challenges before they affect the programme or increase costs.
From securing the necessary consents and approvals through to site mobilisation and enabling works, we coordinate each stage to streamline delivery, minimise delays, and avoid unnecessary disruption. With a construction-led, practical approach, we focus on maximising project potential while ensuring full compliance with all relevant regulatory and statutory obligations.

Build
Stage

During the construction stage, CMT Construction takes full control of site delivery—translating the agreed design into a safe, efficient, and high-quality build. Building on the clarity achieved during pre-contract consultation, we move into construction with a well-prepared programme, coordinated information, and a clear plan for quality, cost, and risk management.
We lead day-to-day site operations, manage subcontractors and supply chains, and maintain disciplined programme control to keep progress predictable and transparent. Quality inspections, health and safety management, and compliance checks are embedded throughout the works, ensuring standards are maintained at every milestone. By proactively resolving issues as they arise and keeping all stakeholders aligned through clear communication, we minimise disruption, avoid unnecessary delays, and deliver a smooth, controlled route to completion.

Portfolio
Management

Our Portfolio Management is designed to protect and enhance the value of completed assets through proactive, well-governed management. We provide a single, accountable point of contact to coordinate maintenance, compliance, and planned works—ensuring properties remain safe, efficient, and performing as intended. 
We take a structured, preventative approach that reduces reactive call-outs and avoids unnecessary disruption. From routine inspections and statutory compliance through to lifecycle planning, defect management, and responsive repairs, we manage each instruction with disciplined programme control, cost visibility, and consistent quality standards. With clear communication and reliable delivery, we keep occupiers supported and assets maintained to a high standard—preserving performance, appearance, and long-term value.
