Commercial Projects
We have completed our 1st commercial warehousing and chemical plant filling stations in the industrial sector during 2016.
The key to our success is the fact that our mangers take ownership of the project and they bring an element of their personality into the work place.

Our Philosophy
Thorns philosophy is to create a positive construction environment between contractor, client and the professional team through sharing our years of experience and our positive attitude with the project team.
Our philosophy within the work place is to employ a work force conducive to our needs, but also to develop this work force in order to create a long term working relationships with these individuals. Most of our permanent employees have been in the company for an excess of ten years. We also offer our employees a market related remuneration and therefore create a positive environment and the opportunity to grow in to their respective positions in order for them to improve themselves and their lifestyle.
Our philosophy is to respect and recognize the fact that each of our clients are different and subsequently will have a different view on what they expect of the final product.
Our Approach
We approach all projects with the introduction of a construction plan, this includes the planning with the individuals that will be on site, from project manager to the safety representative.
Our planning phase includes a deep and detailed understanding of the architectural and engineers designs, this is important to ensure that we seamlessly translate the designs into reality. This process is also supported by the interior design teams as well as the architect.
Our extensive dealings with our suppliers and our relentless demand for high standards have insured that we have a long standing relationship with the best manufacturers and suppliers in the North Coast regions.
