21 Q1 2022 BUILD Ceredigion’s Leading Building Contractor LEB Construction has come a long way since its formation in 2009 and is now considered by many to be the premier building contractor in Ceredigion, and is the eighth fastest growing business in Wales. BUILD magazine has recognised the firm as Best For Innovative Full-Service Building Construction, 2021 – Wales, so we learn more about what it can do for clients. ffering a range of services from main contractor covering the whole scope of works, to specialist skills including carpentry and roofing, LEB Construction is proud to have worked on some of the most highprofile projects for commercial, public sector and domestic clients across Ceredigion and Wales. Whether it’s a simple kitchen install or a full renovation or build, LEB Construction will take care of everything, from start to finish. Founder and managing director, Luke Baker started his career as a qualified carpenter, developing a reputation for high quality work. He is now a Chartered Construction Manager and a Construction Ambassador for the CITB. As the business expanded, LEB Construction recruited the best in the industry: like-minded local craftspeople who take pride in their work, employ a proactive approach to problem solving and maintain a hardworking ethic. This ‘getting the job done’ culture has built a tight-knit, multi-skilled team with a reputation for delivering high quality building works, on time and within budget. The company operates from its Aberystwyth-based industrial unit with a workshop and modern offices along with the support of its contract managers and support staff, making it in a prime position to deliver your project. LEB Construction predominately works for public sector organisations within Ceredigion and has long-standing relationships with many. It provides a fully managed service with a competent, well qualified, professional and dedicated workforce. The company’s health and safety practice, project management tools, systems and technology ensures its people are armed to execute projects to a level its competitors strive to achieve. Luke said, “Our mantra is to get the job done and we have a small, close-knit multi-disciplinary team that has the skills and commitment to go the extra mile. Over the years, we’ve built a network of trusted partners across specialist and skilled trades we can call on as required. And thankfully that’s paying off.” Not only does LEB Construction work on planned projects, but it also responds to emergency calls, such as five years ago when a distressed homeowner’s home was damaged by the “miniO Dec21542 tornado” that struck Aberystwyth. Within a few hours, the team had managed to make the roof safe and watertight for the night, and within 24 hours, all work has been completed, checked and signed off. More recently, in December, the company received a call late at night regarding worries of potential damage caused to the Royal Pier by Storm Barra. By six the following morning, the team was onsite to inspect and fix the damages. LEB Construction is always grateful for local custom and was pleased to be the Royal Pier’s first port of call. The team loved working on and discovering the amazing history of this iconic building. It’s not often the company gets calls like this, but it is proud of how efficient and prompt its team is in reacting and completing the work, while giving peace of mind to the client. The team’s service hasn’t faltered throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, either. Across the construction industry, there have been supply chain problems, but the team has continued to respond efficiently and provide the best service and top quality work possible. Despite the challenges, the company was able to deliver a school extension and refurbishment at Ysgol Gymunedol Pontrhydfendigaid, for Ceredigion County Council last year. The work completed by the team means there is an increased capacity for local children to attend their local, rural school, and it managed to create a flexible environment in which they can enjoy learning. Indeed, LEB Construction is a highly successful company with an outstanding reputation for getting the job done to a topnotch standard, with a strong order book of around £5m. After struggling to find new hires due to the pandemic, the company is pushing a recruitment drive to bring in the best talent in the industry. It also has plans to this year construct its purpose build HQ which will house modern well-designed offices, workshops, storage, and a large builders yard for materials and equipment.
