The Generation Story.
At Generation, we believe that buildings are more than bricks and mortar—they are legacies, stories, and monuments to the people who create them. Our journey began with a simple but profound mission: to redefine heritage construction by combining the best of traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation.
Generation was founded to address a gap in the construction industry—bridging the rich traditions of heritage building with the demands of modern project management and sustainability. With decades of combined experience, our leadership team set out to create a company that not only respected the past but actively built for the future.
Based in the North West of England, with a focus on Manchester and Liverpool, we’ve built a reputation for excellence in restoring historic structures, creating bespoke new builds, and modernising heritage properties for contemporary use.
Why ‘Generation’?
Our name reflects everything we stand for:
Generational Craftsmanship: Skills and techniques honed over centuries are at the core of everything we do.
Building for Generations: We extend the life of historic buildings, ensuring they remain valuable for years to come.
Next-Generation Innovation: Our progressive business model and use of cutting-edge technology set new standards in heritage construction.
What makes us the right choice?
Generation was founded to address common challenges in heritage construction. Too often, traditional contractors:
Overstretch their in-house teams, leading to inconsistent quality.
Rely on outdated methods of project management and delivery.
Avoid modern solutions, leading to inefficiencies and escalating costs.
We set out to solve these problems with a new approach. Our Generation Collective model brings together the best master craftsmen for each project, supported by our core management team. This ensures every project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality.
