FAQs

What types of general building works does D&G Contracting undertake?

D&G Contracting undertakes a broad range of commercial building works, including alterations, refurbishment, repairs, maintenance, builders’ works and making good. We can deliver individual tasks or coordinate multi-trade packages, tailoring the scope to the building, programme and requirements of each project.

Do you carry out commercial refurbishment projects?

Yes. We can deliver refurbishment works that improve, update or repurpose existing commercial spaces. This may include internal alterations, new layouts, replacement finishes, repairs and associated building work. Every package is planned around the client’s objectives, budget and programme.

Can you alter the layout of an existing building?

We can undertake internal alterations and reconfiguration work to help buildings accommodate changing operational needs. Depending on the agreed scope, this may include removing or forming partitions, creating door openings, adapting rooms and making good affected surfaces.

Do you provide commercial building repairs and maintenance?

Yes. Our team can complete planned and reactive building repairs to help keep commercial properties safe, functional and presentable. This can include addressing damaged finishes, doors, walls and other general defects, as well as undertaking ongoing maintenance requirements agreed with the client.

Can you work in occupied commercial buildings?

Where the project allows, works can be planned around an occupied or operational building. We carefully consider access, noise, dust, safety and working hours to minimise disruption. The exact approach will depend on the environment, the work required and any restrictions identified before the project begins.

What are builders’ works?

Builders’ works are the supporting construction tasks required before, during or after another installation. Examples can include forming openings, installing supports, minor masonry or carpentry, reinstating surfaces and making good around new building services. The precise scope is coordinated with the relevant project team and contractors.

What does “making good” mean in construction?

Making good means repairing and reinstating areas affected by construction, maintenance or installation work. It can include patching plaster, repairing wall finishes, filling openings and preparing surfaces for decoration. The aim is to leave the surrounding area safe, tidy and consistent with the required finish.

Can you coordinate several trades within one building package?

Yes. D&G Contracting can coordinate multi-trade building packages, managing sequencing, communication and site activity across the agreed scope. Using one contractor for several connected elements can simplify project management, reduce delays between trades and help maintain consistent standards throughout the work.

Do you undertake small building works?

We can support projects of varying sizes, from localised repairs and alterations to broader refurbishment and multi-trade packages. Suitability will depend on the type of work, location, programme and project requirements. Contact our team with the details, and we can advise whether the project falls within our capabilities.

Can general works be combined with your specialist services?

Yes. General building works can be coordinated with D&G Contracting’s interior, firestopping, acoustic and commercial fit-out services where required. Combining related packages can improve coordination between trades and provide a more straightforward route from the initial construction work to the finished result.

How do you maintain quality and safety during general building works?

Each project is planned around the agreed specification, site conditions and programme. Our team coordinates labour, materials, access and work sequencing while maintaining appropriate site controls. Regular communication helps identify issues early and keeps the work progressing safely and efficiently.

What information is needed for a general works quotation?

To prepare an accurate quotation, we normally need the site location, description of the work, drawings or photographs, required finishes and preferred programme. Information about access, building occupancy and working restrictions is also helpful. A site visit may be recommended where the scope cannot be fully assessed from the supplied documents.
