ABOUT US

Our project team brings in the best tradespeople and has significant and proven experience in the design and coordination of building and roofing work, electrical, plumbing, tiling, windows, doors, flooring and fitments. All can be custom designed to suit you as an individual, or we can give options that you may not have considered.


Utilising years of local Hertfordshire knowledge, we can recommend and utilise the best of architects, specialists and tradespeople in the area to cover your building project from A-Z.


We have learnt that experienced tradespeople are better than software programmes at solving the reality of day to day problems that arise in most building projects. We rely on a working Foreman who is an integral part of the team and our Managing Director and Founder Andy, project manages each job we undertake. Our unique project management programme and pricing structure keeps payments under control. 


ACR Build believes a successful build relies on partnering with our clients to achieve their vision. We know each client requires an unique approach and we thrive on getting to know our clients and their preferences, from the outset.


Transparency is key in our working relationships and we pride ourselves on being accessible and honest throughout each stage. Our client reviews are testament to this and our portfolio showcases what we can achieve when we work together. 


We invite you to arrange a no-obligation conversation with us to see if we can make your plans a reality.
