How does JG Hale Construction achieve building excellence?

"We all want building excellence. It's a quality that Hale and LABC Warranty both share and that is what we aim to deliver."  Matthew Hall - Site Manager

The key to achieving building excellence for JG Hale Construction is a combination of having the personal motivation to build a home to the highest standard and sharing that same passion with everyone involved in the build, including their warranty provider. "We all want building excellence. It's a quality that Hale and LABC Warranty both share and that is what we aim to deliver", Matthew Hall, Site Manager at JG Hale Construction.

"One of the main reasons we enjoy working with LABC Warranty is to gather their invaluable knowledge and experience. Catching a potential issue is key to achieving high standards and avoiding unnecessary costs at the end of the development", Gerwyn Landrygan, Contracts Manager at JG Hale Construction.
