The opportunity then arose for Jimmie to set up his own construction business in 1999, and he has never looked back since. With the formation of Sandar Construction, it soon became apparent that Jimmie’s project management skills would be very much in demand, so it made sense to bring the rest of his family on board full time, as they too shared Jimmie’s passion for all things construction.
With Bernie overseeing the administration side of the business, and sons Jonathon and Leigh becoming directors of the company, the business has continued to build upon their reputation of a name that’s synonymous with quality workmanship.
Over the years, the skills and management base of the company has evolved and developed. There is a strong belief that management is about getting the right people matched up to particular tasks, ensuring good project communications across the whole team, whilst creating a safe and more productive work environment for everyone.
Today, Sandar Construction now boasts a highly professional and motivated construction team which is comparable to the very best in the country. Highly skilled and trustworthy, many of the workforce have been with the company from the very start. This is a management team and workforce that is dedicated to working together to achieve the very highest standards of quality.
“We have four key business objectives: Value, Quality, Safety, and Environment. We are proud of our excellent reputation so we ensure that the same effort goes into every project, no matter the size of the job. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, whilst our dedication to high quality drives us along with providing our clients with value for money”.
