Good Management

Over the years we have observed that where problems arise on a construction project, is frequently due to lack of on site supervision.

1[5]Therefore our company employs professional office and site staff and the role of the professional in visiting the site and observing construction, is a factor in determining the cause of problems arising. Ultimately this method of monitoring our contracts acts as a preventative measure and assures that our contracts are run successfully and professionally.

Our way of thinking is that where there has been careful site administration by ourselves and our site staff, there has been either a reduced amount of on site problems or a timely resolution of any issues that do arise.

Any company can price, win and sign a contract, but running a successful contract and completing it on time without serious problems or issues arising is simply down to one thing… good site management says Mr Bell, Senior Contract Manager for Knapman & Sons.

Our Depot and Offices, Part of Our Success

officeOriginally based in Blackfen, Kent, Knapman & Sons moved to their currently location in Sidcup Kent in 1990. The offices are situated on an eleven acre site that also contains a busy contractors yard, storage and workshops.

“Our depot and offices in Sidcup are essential to a successfully run contracting business, especially one that is expanding as fast as Knapman & Sons (Builders) Ltd is”.

“This year alone we have increased our turnover by double and we are still only half way through our financial year” Mr Knapman commented. “It’s very positive to have a full order book when many other well know contractors are going bust and much of our success is due to having the means and facilities to take on large work loads and contracts. Undoubtedly our base is Sidcup, situated close to London, the M20 and M25 is is one of the many factors in our continued success”
