Sectors
Residential
Gipping deliver award-winning homes that meet exacting standards, including affordable and social housing, private developments and individual, high-specification houses.
Educational
Our extensive education portfolio spans private and pubic sector, heritage and contemporary buildings. All employees have enhanced DBS and work closely with staff to minimise disruption on live sites.
Health & Care
Site teams are selected for their experience in creating safe, pleasant environments for staff and patients in care homes and hospitals with minimal disruption and exemplary adherence to health & safety.
Commercial & Industrial
Priorities can, and do change with the unforeseen but project delivery with minimal disruption, stringent standards of health, safety and environmental procedures is key.
Religion
We have extensive experience of working in places of worship, both contemporary and historic. These sites often require the specialist skills of our highly trained craftsmen.
Heritage
Working with architects and craftsmen, we have restored some exceptional buildings, recognised by winning RIBA Suffolk Craftsmanship award several times. We also hold the prestigious NFB Heritage mark.
Sport & Leisure
From school sports halls and seaside villages to large, busy multi-use leisure centres and gyms, these sites often remain live, and can present technical and environmental challenges.
Art & Culture
Regional theatres, museums and galleries feature in our portfolio. Working around high value artefacts requires careful and sensitive teamwork. We understand that communication to clients and stakeholders is vital.
Civil Engineering
We have worked on civil engineering projects in docks, chemical, and other industrial complexes for over ten years, focused on specific technical projects in high-risk or highly controlled public-area operations.
Services
Procurement, Design, Project Facilitation and Project Management are additional services provided by our very experienced team. These can be provided as standalone or as part of a package.
