Privacy Policy

Who This Policy Covers

This policy applies to visitors to this website, people who contact us through the site, by phone or by email, and clients, suppliers and subcontractors we work with on projects. It does not cover third-party websites we link to, which have their own policies.

Information We Collect

We only collect what we actually need. Depending on how you interact with us, that may include:

• Information you give us — your name, email address, phone number, project location, and anything you write in an enquiry or email.
• Project information — site addresses, drawings, permits, schedules and correspondence relating to work we quote or carry out.
• Billing information — details needed to issue invoices and record payments for clients.
• Technical information — your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and pages viewed, collected automatically when you browse the site.

We do not ask for, and ask that you do not send us, sensitive information such as government identification numbers, health information or full payment card numbers through this website or by email.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to your enquiry and prepare quotes, estimates and proposals.
• Plan, schedule, carry out and invoice construction work.
• Coordinate with subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and authorities on your project.
• Keep records required for warranty, safety, insurance and tax purposes.
• Understand how the website is used so we can improve it.
• Meet our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising unrelated to our services.

Consent

By sending us an enquiry or engaging us for work, you consent to us using your information for the purposes described above. Where we want to use your information for a new purpose, we will ask you first, unless the law permits or requires otherwise.

You can withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual limits, by contacting us. Withdrawing consent may mean we can no longer provide certain services.

Who We Share It With

We share personal information only where it is necessary, and only with:

• Subcontractors and suppliers who need it to carry out or supply part of your project.
• Professional advisors such as engineers, architects, accountants, insurers and lawyers.
• Authorities such as municipalities and inspectors, where required for permits, inspections or compliance.
• Service providers who host our website, email or accounting systems on our behalf.
• Anyone where we are required or permitted to disclose by law.

Some of our service providers may store data outside California or the United States, which means it can be subject to the laws of the place where it is held.

Cookies And Analytics

This website uses only what is needed for the pages to work properly. If we add analytics or embedded content in future, this section will name the tools and explain what they collect. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect how parts of the site behave.

How Long We Keep It

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, or as long as the law requires. Enquiries that do not become projects are generally kept for a limited period and then deleted. Project, safety, warranty and financial records are kept longer, in line with statutory and insurance requirements.

How We Protect It

We use reasonable physical, organisational and technical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information — including restricted access, secure devices and reputable service providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take the responsibility seriously.

Your Rights

Subject to legal limits, you may ask us to:

• Confirm what personal information we hold about you and provide a copy.
• Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Delete information we no longer have a valid reason to keep.
• Explain how your information has been used or disclosed.

Write to us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting, and we will respond within the timeframes set by applicable privacy law.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a business audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

Our site may link to other websites, such as social media profiles or supplier pages. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit from a link here.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or the law. The revised version takes effect once posted here, and the “last updated” date at the top of the page will change. Significant changes will be highlighted where reasonably possible.
