Taking both its name and its ethos from rugby (eleven was the number on Harrison’s shirt), Eleven Builders comprises a team of loyal, skilled craftsmen who work side by side to achieve exceptional outcomes. Harrison has always understood the importance of a quality home life, and this is something that starts with the home itself – the place for a homeowner to map out their vision and realise their dream lifestyle. The team’s recognition that every home is a sacred place deserving of a quality service leads them to deliver exactly that. Going back to the beginning, the story of Eleven Builders far predates 2019, with the seed that would eventually grow into this leading contractor in the Cotswolds being planted back when Harrison was just a child. Spending his summer holidays on building sites as a result of his father being the owner of a construction business, Harrison grew up surrounded by architects and builders, making construction feel like the obvious path for him to take. Launching Eleven Builders on the back of a seven-year stint as a project manager for a local construction firm in Gloucester, the team initially comprised just Harrison and his father, before growing slowly but surely to encapsulate more talent and conquer bigger, more challenging projects. Today, the firm works with homeowners and architects alike, leveraging a people-first approach to build strong relationships across its network – including clients and its team. What follows are respectful worksites and open dialogue delivered as standard. This is true across the range of renovations, conversions, and extensions carried out by the firm, where projects are defined by both trust and cost transparency. As Harrison explained: “Much of our work comes from referrals and repeat business, a reflection of the transparency, integrity, and quality we deliver. We take the time to listen, we’re clear in communication, and we do what we say we’ll do.” He continued: “Cost transparency underpins everything we do. We’re upfront with every quote and clearly communicate any changes that arise.” “For us, innovation means being transparent. It might not sound groundbreaking, but in a world where clients are often nervous about trusting construction companies, honesty and openness really do set you apart.” A lot of the work carried out by the team comes from referrals and repeat business, reflecting the transparency, integrity, and service quality delivered across every project. Harrison believes the extensions he and his team complete reflect this best, as these allow for real transformations that add more space, improved functionality, and demonstrable value to be added at every turn. One of the best examples of this comes from an extension in Stroud. Completed over six months in 2023, this project consisted of a twostorey extension built from a timber frame and lined with zinc cladding, giving a unique, ultra-modern edge to an area of a stonework property that otherwise blends in seamlessly with its nature-filled surroundings. Internally, works ranged from significant structural alterations – transforming a dark, enclosed hallway into a bright and open entrance – through to fitting a bespoke, oak front door and a remote-controlled Velux roof window to increase ventilation/airflow. With exciting projects such as this coming through the door almost on a daily basis, this builder in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and across the Cotswolds is looking ahead to its next big project: a two-home, new-build development that is due to be completed in 2026. Alongside this and the other renovations, extensions, and other residential projects worked on by this contractor, the aim for Eleven Builders is to continue building trust by being upfront across the entire lifecycle of a project, from costs and timelines through to its on-site work.
