Express Builders

If you head up to the second floor of Express House, that’s where you’ll find our office. We’ve been based here for quite some time now. Most of our days are spent looking at blueprints or talking to guys on the job sites. It’s not the quietest office because there is always something going on. We have piles of samples and catalogues everywhere. Express Builders isn't a massive company with hundreds of employees, but we stay busy enough. Being on the second floor gives us a bit of a view of the street below, which is nice when things get stressful. We spend a lot of time on the phone or driving out to check on progress at different locations. Sometimes the lift in the building acts up, so we take the stairs. It keeps us moving. Our desks are usually covered in sketches and notes written on scraps of paper. We don't have a receptionist in a suit, just someone who answers the phone when they aren't filing something. We try to be straightforward with people. If a job is going to take longer, we say so. Construction is messy and unpredictable, and we’ve seen it all. We just focus on getting the walls up and the roofs on. It’s honest work that keeps us coming back every morning. We like being right here in this building because it is easy for people to find. We are just a group of people building things.
