ABOUT
SEH FRENCHSEH French is one of East Anglia’s leading construction firms. With an emphasis on designing and building sustainable projects that will stand the test of time, we have established a first-rate reputation for quality and project delivery. As part of One Group Construction, one of Suffolk’s largest privately owned companies, SEH French is renowned for exceptional customer service, its highly skilled team, and all-round professionalism across every single project.
Working with a wide and varied client base, SEH French’s continued growth over the last 40 years has seen the company rise in stature, wealth of experience, reputation, and project turnover.
We can specialise in any industry and any type of project; whether it is working to constrained budgets, tight delivery deadlines or creating a completely bespoke design and build template. Well-versed in all forms of procurement, SEH French can be engaged from initial conception, through funding, design, construction, and maintenance post-completion.
The company places a high level of importance on its low carbon outlay where possible. By using local resources and limiting travelling within East Anglia, we have superb green credentials while offering assured efficiency to clients.
Our work has ranged from multi-million-pound projects for international business operations to extensive work in the public sector, with healthcare providers and in the industrial sector.
WHERE WE WORK
SEH French’s head office may be located in Ipswich, but our work spans across the East of England. As a local company, we pride ourselves in the quality construction we deliver to Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.
