Trusted Building Contractors Across the East Midlands
D&M Building Services is a team of building contractors delivering residential redevelopment, structural renovation and commercial construction across the East Midlands, spanning Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.
Founded in 2008, the firm has grown from specialist trade roots into a structured construction business built to handle complex, multi-phase projects where technical precision matters most.
From full structural property transformation through to controlled commercial construction, every project is overseen directly by our in-house team, from the first planning stages to final handover. It’s a level of continuity few regional contractors offer, and it’s what clients across the East Midlands feel in the quality of the work and the way each job is run.
Meet the Team
- Darren
Construction Director
Darren trained as a plasterer and built his career from the ground up, with over 20 years of hands-on experience across structural work, steel installation and full residential redevelopment. It’s given him something you can’t teach, he reads a building and sees the solution before it becomes a problem. Darren leads site operations across all D&M projects, overseeing the trades, holding the standard, and making sure nothing leaves site unless it’s right.
- Monika
Managing Director
Monika has been part of D&M since its early days, shaping the commercial side of the business. An MCIPS Chartered specialist with over a decade of leadership experience, she ensures every project is professionally planned, financially controlled and clearly communicated. Monika oversees full business operations, providing the structure behind each project so clients always understand the process, costs and progress of their build.

How We Work
At D&M Building Services, every project is delivered through a structured, stage-led process designed to provide clarity, control and steady progress from initial consultation through to final handover.
1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
We start with a detailed site visit to understand your ideas, assess the property, and identify any technical considerations. This allows us to confirm what’s achievable and highlight any potential risks early.
2. Detailed Costing & Quotation
Our inhouse team prepares a clear, detailed quotation based on your requirements. We don’t estimate on guesswork. Every quote is carefully built to reflect the real scope of work, materials, and programme.
3. Scope Review & Design Coordination
Before work begins, we walk through the quotation with you to ensure everything is clearly understood. If drawings or design input are required, we coordinate this to make sure the scope, costs, and expectations are fully aligned.
4. Pre-Construction Planning
We plan your project properly before starting on site. This includes finalising schedules, confirming materials and lead times, organising trades, and agreeing start dates so the build runs smoothly.
5. Fully Managed Construction
Your project is managed from start to finish by our experienced team. We oversee all trades, coordinate deliveries, maintain quality control, and keep you informed with regular updates throughout the build.
6. Completion & Handover
Once the work is complete, we carry out a final inspection, address any snagging items, and ensure all necessary certifications are in place. You’ll receive a structured handover so everything is clear and documented.
7. Aftercare & Support
Our service doesn’t stop at completion. We provide a defects period and aftercare support, giving you peace of mind long after your project is finished.
