When it comes to construction, you want to know you are dealing with someone you can trust.

Nick Building Contractors Limited (NBC Limited) is a small and highly successful company based in Northfleet with over 30 years’ experience within the civil engineering sector of the construction industry.

This includes work on high profile projects for a number of large clients including Costain.

The company operates in a number of industry sectors including construction, civil engineering work and drainage and rail education.

Operating across the UK, it could be said that much of NBC’s success is not just down to its skills, but the application of constant communication with employees and ongoing training.

A rigorous programme of health and safety training is applied to all staff and operatives. This guarantees that the workforce is properly qualified and experienced to take on its responsibilities.

It includes building and construction specialists who have an impressive list of qualifications. The letters CSCS, CPCS, NVQ, PTS and NRSWA may not mean much to most of us, but be assured it is a mark of quality.

All workers attend a first-day induction with the organisation. This is based on a standard format and additionally they will also attend an on-site health and safety induction.

Daily briefings are carried out on every site and weekly ‘toolbox talks’ are also held.

Looking towards the future, the company intends undertaking detailed value engineering which will include maximising its recycling on site as well as use of recycled materials and offsite manufacture to save time and reduce safety risks. It has already developed specialist skills to deliver these intricate projects.

Nick Building Contractors is among the entrants in this year’s Gravesham Business Awards, supported by the Messenger.
