Extensions.

When you love where you live and need to prepare for the next phase of life, extending horizontally, vertically or both is a great way to increase floor space without moving.

Renovations.

Breath new life into your home while keeping its character. We’re strong advocates for maintaining traditional methods in period properties and we’ll be only too happy to talk you through it.

why choose us?

Local values driven by professional standards.

Communication.

Communication is key during your project. From start to finish we will keep you informed with planning updates, programming, costings and progress reports.

Planning.

All good project management starts with thorough planning to ensure that there are no delays once work begins. With the recent strain on supply chains, identifying the key products and their availability is vital to a smooth project, by ensuring that those “standard-off-the-shelf’ products are indeed that.

Exacting standards.

Our philosophy is that quality assurance or “snagging” shouldn’t be left to you the client. Given his background, Dan has particularly sharp attention to detail and imparts that on everyone around him.

our people

An experienced team.

Woodlands Construction is a Dorset building company founded by Dan Dawkins MAPM, a former Royal Marine and accomplished project manager with 12 years experience in the construction industry.

Dan began as a carpenter and built a business specialising in bespoke projects for the luxury and listed homes around Shropshire. After leaving the military he managed projects for other contractors in both residential and commercial sectors.

Dan founded Woodlands to bring the professionalism of a commercial construction company to the residential sector.

I highly recommend Dan at Woodlands, their work is exceptional. They not only delivered outstanding craftsmanship but also went above and beyond by resolving unforeseen issues during our project, which would have caused us problems in years to come if they had not rectified them. The commitment to excellence and problem-solving skills made our home transformation a remarkable success.

Rich, Poole.

We’ve used Dan at Woodlands a couple of times and have always been over the moon with everything. Always keeping us informed and ensuring that the work was what we expected them to be. Very professional and highly recommended.
