Specialist Trades, Professionally Managed in Nottingham, Derby & the Midlands

One construction team coordinating the trades your project needs

A successful construction project relies on more than individual trades. It relies on having the right people, in the right place, at the right time – with somebody taking responsibility for coordinating the whole process.

At D&M Building Services, we work with an established network of trusted trades and specialist contractors across the East Midlands.

We select and vet the people working on our projects, coordinate their work, manage the programme and monitor quality – so our clients don’t have to source and manage multiple contractors themselves.

From electricians, plumbers and heating engineers to joiners, roofers, plasterers, bricklayers and other specialist contractors, each trade is brought into the project when required and managed as part of the wider construction programme.

You appoint D&M. We manage the rest.

Specialist Trade Services in Nottingham

A Trusted Trade Network

Finding individual trades is relatively easy. Finding reliable contractors, checking them, coordinating availability and making sure one trade’s work is ready for the next is where construction projects can become difficult.

D&M takes responsibility for that coordination.

Our trade and specialist contractor network is selected and vetted by us, with relevant competence, insurance, qualifications and accreditations checked where applicable.

We then manage:

  • Trade selection and coordination
  • Programme and sequencing
  • Procurement and materials
  • Interfaces between different trades
  • Quality checks
  • Progress and communication
  • Snagging and completion

One point of contact. One coordinated programme. Multiple specialist trades managed by D&M.

Roofing

From structural roofing and new roof installations to flat roofing, repairs and associated works, roofing is delivered by experienced contractors within our trusted network.

Where roofing forms part of a larger D&M project, we coordinate it with structural works, windows, external finishes and subsequent trades to keep the overall programme moving.

Plumbing & Heating

Plumbing and heating works are coordinated throughout the construction programme, from first-fix pipework and underfloor heating through to bathrooms, kitchens, sanitaryware and final commissioning.

We manage the relationship between plumbing, electrical, joinery, plastering and finishing trades so clients aren’t left coordinating dependencies themselves.

Electrical

Electrical works are planned alongside the wider construction programme, including first and second fix, lighting, power, heating controls and testing.

D&M coordinates electrical contractors with the other trades working on the project and manages the works through to completion and certification.

A Wider Specialist Network

Depending on the project, we also coordinate specialist contractors and suppliers across groundworks, steelwork, glazing, flooring, decorating, landscaping and other project-specific packages.

Whatever the combination of trades required, D&M manages how each element fits into the wider construction programme.

One Team. One Programme. One Point of Responsibility.

Construction projects can involve numerous trades, suppliers and specialist contractors. Managing them shouldn’t become the client’s job.

D&M coordinates the people, programme, procurement and quality throughout the build – giving our clients one construction team responsible for keeping the project moving.

Our trusted trade network primarily supports D&M’s managed residential and commercial construction projects. We also undertake selected standalone trade packages where the scope, value and location are suitable.

We Don’t Just Build. We Manage.
