About Us

A construction company built on strong foundations

PAH has been built on the foundations of high quality work, looking after people and leaving the industry better than we found it.

We partner with insurers, surveyors, architects and commercial owners of large residential estates to deliver quality work and transformative results. Our clients come to us when they need safe hands, a highly competent team and careful management.

We work in the southern central region of the UK and cover projects along the central corridor as far north as Yorkshire.

A culture of collaboration

We work collaboratively as an extension of our clients’ teams. We’re known for our ability to ask the right questions, spot issues quickly, find solutions and identify potential savings. All with a focus on helping you get the best possible outcome.

A customer-first approach

Whether it’s being polite and tidy on site, sitting down for a cuppa with a concerned resident, or having a dedicated family liaison officer. Our whole team understands the power of the seemingly small things that make a big difference to your customers.

A focus on sustainability and social impact

We are continuously looking for ways we can look after future generations. From responsibly recycling our waste, and helping clients achieve better sustainability outcomes. To working with local schools and colleges to inspire the next generation of builders.

Safe and competent

We are relentless in making sure our team has the necessary skills, experience and processes to do a proper job, and run a safe site. We invest in external health and safety consultants, prioritise training and competency, and ensure we are compliant with accreditations such as CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

Quality work, that's right first time

It’s not about just getting the job signed off, it’s about protecting both of our reputations by making sure our work is fit for purpose, for years to come.

All delivered with minimum fuss

A job done well, on time, and as expected. With a competent and easy-to-deal-with team, who take care of your clients. It sounds like the basics, but we know it takes work to get these right, and we work hard to make sure that we do.

“This project was a big team effort, and quite different to the type we normally do. We all had a real aspiration, even on the budget, to do something really impressive.

PAH were a key part of the project. One of the things I like is the clarity and honesty they give in terms of what you can achieve on the budget, what’s really possible, instead of trying to achieve something you can’t.

I’m always impressed with their level of detail and understanding of design and aspirations. They come up with solutions to problems, are optimistic and positive as a company with a real can-do attitude throughout the team. They say they can do it, then they deliver, I’ve seen that time and again, and it’s rare to find a whole team that has that.”

The PAH
Story

Set up in 1998 by Paul Hodges, PAH Building and Maintenance began providing refurbishment for one of the largest private real estate owners in the UK. In 2010, we set up a sister company – PAH Building and Construction – working with insurance companies to reinstate properties devastated by fire or floods. Then in 2017, as the businesses grew, we decided to consolidate the two businesses. Our company structure may have changed over the years, but our values have not. And we’re proud that many of our original team and clients are still with us today.

In our 25 years, we’ve grown to a team of more than 25, many of whom have been here since the early days. We’re extremely proud of our team, they’re hard working, conscientious and always willing to roll up their sleeves and get the job done.

Each project is run by a dedicated contracts manager and a project site manager, supported by a combination of our in-house team, and subcontractors who we have worked with for many years. Our directors, Mark and Trevor, are always on hand to oversee and assist as needed, and you’ll regularly see them in meetings and on site. We also have family liaison officers we bring in for larger-scale estate projects and a brilliant admin team supporting us behind the scenes.
