Barr Construction
Barr Construction Limited are one of the UK's Leading design, construction and industrial manufacturing companies. Specialising in the design and construction of sports stadia and arenas as well as large scale leisure, commercial and retail projects.
Barr Limited started life in the late nineteenth century as W & J Barr & Sons, a local builder and joiner based in Ayrshire.
In the late 1960s the company expanded into civil engineering and higher value projects.
From the late 1980s to the turn of the century the Company, in the ownership of the Barr family, embarked upon a major expansion and diversification programme that took the Company into areas such as house building, leisure management and retail.
Since 2003 the Company has refocused the approach to its business, having divested itself of non-core activities, and is concentrating on developing its Construction, Manufacturing, Industrial and Environmental divisions.
The Industrial division's assets include £70m tonnes of consented mineral reserves while Barr Environmental has over 7m cubic metres of consented landfill.
Barr Construction and Barr Manufacturing are now largely focused on niche markets, offering a complete construction service and specialist areas of expertise to major clients.
