About Us

From the Inside Out

Craftsmanship, collaboration, community

Barr Build remains, first and foremost, about people. Together, our team, our clients and our professional partners bring exceptional projects to life.

Training and development from within and the passing on of skills and experience through our established apprenticeship schem have been balanced with the gathering of exactly the right people and skillsets to enhance and optimise the team.

DIRECTORS Edit

Creating the structure

Stuart Barr, David Noonan and Chris Noonan were brought together through their commitment to ‘building well’. Having started out as apprentice site carpenters, they shared a belief in exceptional craftsmanship and the importance of knowledge and experience as a route to achieving design-led excellence.

Later joined by Adam Mullins, they became codirectors, forming the Barr Build of today, a people-centred organisation focused on making every project journey as enjoyable as its lasting results.  

Steady growth has allowed the organisation to stay true to itself. Through leaning into our values of Teamwork, Trust and Determination, we are able to produce better, more meaningful work. 

How we work

Each Barr Build project is set up according to individual project requirements. The team will include a dedicated site manager or site foreman, an assigned contracts manager and quantity surveyor where required, always with the support of an overseeing Barr Build director. 

All works are carried out by our multi-disciplinary team of skilled trades, including groundworkers, masonry specialists, carpenters, plasterers, cabinet makers, decorators and more, working alongside trusted Barr Build specialist subcontractors. 

Our support team, which includes finance and administration services, are backed up by carefully refined systems and processes, which ensure the smooth running of every project.
