Property briefs: Nobles Construction; Crystal Property; CPUK

LIVERPOOL-based Nobles Construction has an order book of £8m which it said suggested the sector is recovering after a long recession.

Director Peter Linford said: “We’ve got almost £10m of confirmed orders and a very healthy pipeline, but it’s not about chasing the turnover. We’re focused on doing the right job for the right client and on pricing jobs carefully. Tender prices remain competitive but the work’s out there.”

The business, which is focusing on the social housing sector, has a turnover of around £20m.

Its pipeline includes three apartment blocks and 27 houses in Macclesfield for the Cheshire Peaks and Plains Housing Trust, eight houses and 24 flats in Somerset for the Yarlington Housing Association, and a two-storey extension to the Eric Moore Health Centre in Warrington.
