The Foundation Programme

Our Foundation programme is perfect for school and university leavers with an interest in the built environment.

Wondering what your next move after school or uni is going to be? If you're interested in fit out, design, project management or construction, then look no further.

Our Foundation Programme is designed to give school/college leavers, or recent graduates a rounded view of our business through a two year programme. It'll provide you with workplace rotations, structured training and networking opportunities.

It's the perfect way to build solid foundations for your career.
