Background to the partnership
We met at Oxford Polytechnic (now Oxford Brookes University) whilst studying our construction based courses. After successfully completing college we went to work for different employers for a few years before coming together when we worked for a very well respected Oxfordshire Building Contractor, Hinkins & Frewin Ltd, who were then part of the Morgan Sindall Group (now Morgan Ashurst).
Jonathan was employed as a Project Manager and Adrian as a Quantity Surveyor. Together we ran a number of projects from inception to successful completions. The projects were solely run from the site with very little head office back up which is where we learnt to work as a successful team.
We both left the company and have worked for well known and respected local and national contractors until recently when we decided to start up our own company.
We know we can offer a service to clients that far exceeds the norm for the building industry.
Apart from the actual on site construction we can offer advice, design input, technical drawing, budgets, programmes and building control advice.
We have over the years built up a large database of many local and high quality subcontractors to utilize and will only use those that we can trust and rely upon.
We have both worked in an environment where we have learnt to resolve these problems and whether the building cost is £5 million or £10,000 makes no difference, the same principles apply.
AJ Design & Build will keep the client advised of relevant matters throughout the whole process, provide programmes, budgets, costs awareness and will carry out the work in a timely manner.
Construction does not have to be a painful process and AJ Design & Build will show that this is the case.
