Working on a house in Cambridge in the 1950s (right) in the days before Health & Safety Regulations! Walkers Builders Ltd was established in 1871 by our great grandfather, Edward Walker, a master carpenter, who worked from Little Shelford. Edward's three sons followed him into the business, working from the same premises that we occupy today. One of Edward's sons, Harold, had two sons of his own, Brien and Percy, who developed and expanded the business during the 1950s, carrying out many of the new housing developments in Cambridge and the surrounding areas.
Our primary activity is the building of new homes, working mainly with architects and developers - although we have carried out many self-funded projects for private individuals over the years. Through our hands-on experience of the building industry and our extensive contacts we are able to provide a total project management and build service. We can advise on sourcing and negotiating land purchases, obtaining planning permission, architectural and structural design, construction techniques (including the latest environmentally friendly systems) and, if required, sales and marketing of a completed development.
