Overview
J & B O'Brien are building contractors based around the South Croydon area, specialising in small private build work and working for local authorities on schools. We employ direct trained labour, but also call on reliable sub-contractors for specialised work. Our direct labour team have all been CRB checked.
We are registered with the Federation of Master Builders and the Construction Industry Training Board, to whom we pay a levy annually to assist with Apprentership training.
History
Formed in 1973 by Directors John & Beryl O’Brien, the early years consisted mainly of Housing Association refurbishment work. In 1983, sons Mike & Steve embarked on a career in the family run business, enrolling at NESCOT to study Carpentry & Joinery and Brickwork respectively. Steve was to become the 3rd generation of Bricklayers, following John and both Grandads.
Following John’s retirement in 1998, Mike and Steve took over the Company.
The Company carried on the Refurbishment work, but steadily changed to Extensions, Local Authority School work , and small new Build projects. We have just finished our 7th new House, in Epsom.
Federation of Master Builders
J & B O'Brien are members of
the Federation of Master Builders (FMB).
Choosing a builder who’s a member of the FMB means a really good start to any building project. The FMB is a trade association that promotes professionalism and high quality workmanship among small and medium-sized building firms throughout the UK.
Only builders and specialists who can comply with the FMB entry criteria are accepted as members. The Federation logo on builders’ vehicles and stationery is widely accepted as the hallmark of a builder who takes pride in the quality of their work, and who matches it with an equally well-run business.
Construction Industry Training Board
J & B O'Brien contribute by levy
to the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) working to deliver a safe, professional and fully qualified UK construction workforce
