Customer reviews
What our clients say
"Forge Build have delivered four schemes for us now. The groundworks package is always priced honestly, the site team is disciplined and the programme is hit. That is rare."
David HartleyConstruction Director, Harrogate Living Developments
"The slab at Wetherby was signed off first time to FM2. Their setting out and quality control paperwork made the client's engineer's job easy."
Rachel OkonjoProject Manager, Northgate Estates
"They dug and poured the foundations for our extension. Tidy, polite, protected the driveway and cleaned up every evening. Quote matched the final invoice to the penny."
Tom BeswickHomeowner, Ilkley
"A genuinely safety-first contractor. Their temporary works design and EA liaison on the riverside job was the best we have seen from a regional firm."
Sian RobertsSenior Engineer, City of York Council
"We specify Forge Build wherever we can. They flag buildability issues at tender stage rather than raising variations later."
Michael GrantPartner, Grant & Wilde Architects
"Communication was excellent throughout the enabling works. Weekly reports, clear photos, no surprises. We'll use them on phase two."
Louise FairbanksFacilities Lead, Dales Regeneration Partnership
