Why clients work with the Toureen Group
Toureen Group are construction & contracting specialists and one of the biggest benefits of contracting with any of the divisions, is that clients automatically access the Group's wider, in-house expertise. This is particularly beneficial when unexpected project complications arise. Clients have noted that unlike working with a single discipline contractor:
- value engineering solutions are more innovative because of the influence and exposure to different sectors,
- construction programmes avoid delay through more resilience to unforeseen challenges and complications,
- plant and material purchasing costs are more competitive due to the Toureen Group's greater buying power.
We have a varied range of specialities from groundworks and civil engineering to reinforced concrete structures, reinforced concrete basements, de-watering, temporary works, piling and solutions for restricted site access in cities such as London.
