We have a proven track record of delivering successful building and electrical projects for our commercial and domestic clients, with whom we develop longstanding partnerships. Our highly qualified engineers and technicians provide expertise and experience across the full range of construction disciplines.

We always operate to the highest standards of building and electrical work to meet the needs of our clients regardless of the size of the project – from a large rolling contract to small personal services.

Our experienced team always conforms to tight deadlines and late notices and has a great work ethic and a professional and responsive approach.

Client satisfaction is paramount – and we take communication extremely seriously – keeping our clients fully updated with the progress of their contracts is a major priority.

A proud family-run business

Houghton Building is an established family business which is based in Chelmsford in Essex and has been in operation since the early 1970’s.

The company was founded by Mr. J Houghton who was a fully qualified electrical engineer. He was succeeded by his son; Ian Houghton who has carried on the family tradition in electrical engineering. The company was rebranded in 1992 as Houghton & Son Ltd. Ian has expanded the company over the years to its current successful position. It continues to grow and now covers all aspects of building, property management and electrical works. We take pride in the fact that our business has been built on the traditional value of excellent workmanship, and in the high quality jobs that we complete for our satisfied customers.

We are delighted to now have Jamie, Ryan and Lewis Houghton onboard, as our valued third generation and who continue to expand and develop the company under their father’s guidance.
