An FR Carpentry building project under construction at golden hour in Dorset

Building & Construction

As an established Dorset construction company, we take on full building projects from the ground up. New builds, structural alterations, extensions and complete renovations, all planned, built and finished by one trusted team, with a carpenter's eye for detail on every join.

A good construction company is really about two things: building it right, and running the job well. We handle both. From foundations, groundwork and structural steel to first and second fix, we manage the whole programme so you always know what is happening, who is on site and what comes next.

Because we come from a carpentry and joinery background, the finish is where we stand apart from a general building firm. The structure is sound and to regulation, and the details are clean, considered and built to last.

We are fully insured and VAT registered, and we work with your architect and building control from the first drawing to sign off. Whether it is a single structural change or a complete build, you get one point of contact and a tidy, well-run site across Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset and Hampshire area.

Every project is different, so we quote yours properly after a free site visit, clear, itemised and with no obligation to go ahead.

We are. We carry full public liability insurance and are VAT registered, so you are covered and dealing with an established, accountable company.

What areas do you cover?+

We are based in Christchurch and work throughout Dorset and Hampshire, including Bournemouth, Poole, Ringwood, the New Forest and the surrounding towns.

“Finn and his team have just completed our kitchen extension which we are thrilled with. His dedication and attention to detail was superb, he was always available to update us on the work progress and discuss other options when there were small changes to the project. Finn was great to work with.”
Ian KingKitchen Extension
“I can only say that they were brilliant. They were prompt, efficient, coordinated and a very nice team of people. Finn has a rare mix of people skills, carpentry skills and management skills, and I plan to use FR Carpentry for our first-floor extension. Thoroughly recommend them. First class.”
