1980 to be precise, a building company was formed

Our Company

Schooling Builders, a Teignmouth based family business, was formed in 1980 by Mike & Trish Schooling. Mike started a career as a Surveyor in London, then moved to Bristol, where he gained the position of Site Manager for Beazers South West, predominantly as a house builder. Mike finally moved to Teignmouth in 1977 as Area Manager for Beazers and into one of their Beazer built homes, but within 3 years, he took the initiative to go it alone, setting up Schooling Builders. Initially the Company was Mike, a sub contractor and a van. Now the company has a fleet of 6 vehicles, several direct employees and a vetted and checked team of local sub contractors. The company carry out mainly public sector works, but have an increasing portfolio of local private clientele.

Daughter Emma joined the team in 2004 initially as an Office based manager, building up their client base and Accreditation credentials. Emma now oversees the general running of the business from Project Management to Surveys and estimating.

Over the years the Company has built its reputation on providing a good level of workmanship, good communication and a competent workforce, along with the fact the company has won several awards for its commitment to training and the Environment.
