About us

Short Construction Ltd was formed at the beginning of 2010 with a view of becoming the area’s leading quality housebuilder. The bulk of our work is residential, however we do carry out a number of commercial projects which include schemes in the following sectors: Care homes including a framework agreement for Barchester, repeat contracts for Kids Planet - kids nursery provider, retail spaces, warehouses, office buildings, restaurants and leisure facilities and these have ranged in value from £700k to over £5m. Primarily though we are known for our residential expertise and in this sector our core projects tend to be bespoke one – off new build houses, complete re-model / refurbishment projects or small multiple unit sites, generally upto a maximum of 20 properties and these can all range in value between £750k - £6m. Around 50% of our order book is currently for developers and we have forged very close relationships with a number of businesses over the last 3 - 4 years. Our other work is for individual private clients / homeowners and these projects come from Design Consultants and Quantity Surveyors who we work with on a repeat basis.

  • 🏗️Since the last update, fantastic progress has been made across all eight blocks of our Daisy Bank Park scheme.🏗️ The brickwork on the apartment building has reached the second-floor level, and the team is all set for the hollow-core concrete plank flooring to be installed this week. The traditional roof construction is well underway on blocks three and four. These properties will be felt and battened before the site closes for Christmas. Internal works will commence when the site reopens in 2025.✨ Construction of the substation is complete and we are now ready for the services provider to connect power in January! The SCL team has thoroughly enjoyed working at the site this year and we are eager to continue the hard work in the new year. #NewDevelopment #SCLProperty #ConstructionUpdates

  • ✨ Introducing The Retreat, a recently completed project located in the heart of Macclesfield Forest, seamlessly blending old and new. ✨ The conversion of the existing Old Post Office has resulted in a 30-bed complex, with a contemporary leisure suite added at the rear. Combining glass, structural timber, and natural stone exudes character and charm. Since opening to the public in September, it has successfully hosted a retreat, presenting a unique escape in the stunning Cheshire countryside. #ShortConstructionLtd #Macclesfield #MacclesfieldForest #Wildbourclough #Cheshire

  • 📍 Restoring a local landmark in Altrincham! 📍 We are delighted to be working with the talented design team, BDI Structural Solutions and Howard and Seddon Architects, to breathe new life into the former Wheatsheaf pub, transforming it into six beautiful new homes. Located in Altrincham’s Old Marketplace conservation area, at the corner of Church Street and Manchester Road, this historic pub has stood proudly since the 1700s. While the iconic black and white Tudor-style façade is not the original, it is believed to have been added in the 1920s. This distinctive feature has become so closely associated with the town that Trafford Council has requested its preservation as part of the new housing development. Next up, enabling works will secure the structure of the pub before extension work begins to prepare the site for the new homes. #ShortConstructionLtd #RestorationProject
