The Story So Far

We started this business in 2014 as a small side project. At the time, I (Claudiu) was a student at the University of Aberdeen, studying for a business degree followed by a master’s in Real Estate, while my father, Ilie, was working with a major contractor in the city. I’d always dreamt of running my own business, and with my studies aligned to support that goal, starting a contracting company felt like a natural step—especially as my father had previously run his own construction business abroad, building houses from the ground up.

In the early days, we operated as a general contractor, drawing on my father’s extensive experience in all aspects of construction. But over time, we realised that by specialising, we could deliver better results more efficiently. We initially focused on larger-scale projects, then moved towards interior works, before narrowing our focus to kitchens and bathrooms. For the past few years, we’ve specialised exclusively in bathrooms. Specialisation allows us to streamline operations, improve quality, and keep costs down—something general contractors often struggle to match. It’s why our price-to-quality ratio stands out.

Today, our Aberdeen business is well-established, with the majority of our work coming from word-of-mouth recommendations. It’s not uncommon for the same customer to hear about us from three or four different sources. As we look to the future, our goal is to expand this model to other cities. We’re actively working on launching in Edinburgh, using a franchise-style approach to offer the same high-quality, cost-effective service that has proven so successful in Aberdeen.
