Years of Experience
Reputation
Our reputation has been earned over time through consistent delivery and a practical, safety-first approach to construction. It’s demonstrated by the standards we maintain and the results we deliver — not by claims, but by the way we work.
We’ve invested in specialist plant, machinery and stocks of falsework and formwork equipment to support efficient and reliable delivery on site. This investment helped us maintain continuity and resilience during the challenges presented by COVID, reducing reliance on external supply chains.
Our teams bring a depth of experience in reinforced concrete structures and a track record of completing even the most challenging projects safely, on time and within budget.
This photo of three generations of the same family — grandfather, father, and son — speaks to the continuity, loyalty and shared values that have helped shape our reputation.

Hale Group
Just wanted to say thank you to you & the team for your professional stand-out performance on Friary 1 Bringing the programme of works within the required period and being a massive help. We're quick enough to make calls when things are not going well, but forget to call when things go really well. So just wanted to say Thank you.
Beard Construction
TVC successfully delivered all in-situ concrete works for this complex, fast-track project, completed on time despite Covid-19 challenges and a constrained site. Their scope included foundations, concrete frames, walls, slabs, plinths, and a complex machine base. TVC maintained high standards in quality, safety, and collaboration throughout. Special thanks to Site Manager Gareth Foster for his exceptional leadership and adaptability in managing ongoing changes.
Scotts
I’d like to thank TVC for an outstanding job and commend the professionalism shown throughout the project. The team’s planning, execution, safety awareness, and site management were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the service provided to Hale was truly first class. In my 35 years in the industry, TVC stands out as one of the best subcontractors I’ve worked with. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together again. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved.
Bute Town Community Living
Thank you and your team for such an excellent job you have done for us here at Fox Den Road. It's been an absolute pleasure having you all working with us on site. Looking forward to working with you again on the next one!
Beard Construction
Very rare to have a contractor who meets & exceeds our standards on site, with a smile on their face whilst doing so. Thanks again for all your work and help to date and hopefully see you soon.
Beard Construction Ltd.
I had the Compliance Team Structural Engineer on site yesterday for an inspection, and I wanted to pass on his comments. He was very impressed with the high quality of work being undertaken, and the site setup and method of work, considering the highly constrained nature of the site. They've undertaken various inspections at different stages of the scheme so far, and have been so impressed with TVC's works that they've put your name forward on other projects. Well done on the great work, and please pass the comments on to the team.
BECT Building Contractors
My feedback can be nothing more than absolute positivity regarding the project, the team and the supply chain. To see the environment and working conditions you have created is so refreshing. The attention to detail on lower risk elements i.e. the routes/walkways and storage etc. is fantastic, more importantly the time, respect and dedication you are putting at the front-end is clearly showing with the product you are getting on with, the good attitudes, behaviours and quality of work displayed. Great team effort and looking forward to coming back again already.
Bouygues UK
Well done. The client compliance team do not issue statements like that often. I've thanked your team and thank you, keep up the great work.
BECT Building Contractors
I thought it would be worthwhile writing an email to you all to express our gratitude and compliments to the way that you have approached this site from a safe working perspective. All of the Beard site team and visiting managers, topped off by the head of our H&S team who visited this morning, have all commended on how well set up you are and the way that your operatives are handling themselves on site.
Beard Construction Ltd.
I would personally like to thank and commend TVC for an overall excellent project. All facets of their organisation worked very well from their input during pre-construction through to production on site and handover. I believe the end product is of a very high standard. The Client has visited site since the frame has been completed and also expressed their thanks on a quality finish and performance by TVC particularly during the difficult COVID restricted time on site. I look forward to working with TVC again.
BAM Construction
The Directors and Pre Con Manager (Meilir) were very helpful in the early part of the project, the early involvement of TVC helped massively, the only trade on site that DID help. The Site management team were very proactive and the finishing lads were fantastic.
BAM Construction
The team from TVC provided an excellent service from the tendering stage through to the design stage where they worked collaboratively with us to rationalise the reinforcement design and provided alternative formwork solutions. The team completed the project to an excellent quality with a collaborative approach to health and safety and programme compliance to ensure that the project was a resounding success. I would have no hesitation in recommending TVC for future projects.
Bam Construction
This was the first time Kier have worked with TVC for quite a while and it was the best decision we made for the Glass Wharf Plot 4 project. Right from the start Liam and his team gave us confidence that they would deliver a successful frame. The TVC site team worked really well with the Kier team and did everything we needed with good a safety attitude, quality build and bettering their programme.
Kier Construction
Just a short note to express our thanks for all the hard work and commitment TVC put into constructing the frame at One Canal Parade. All aspects of Health & Safety were handled very professionally, and the finished quality was very good. We also appreciate the time saved on the overall programme.
BECT Building Contractors
I have used Thames Valley Construction on several RC Framed Projects, and found them to be highly professional and co-operative. They have a strong ethic relating to site safety and quality of workmanship. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Bam Construction
Their attitude towards Health & Safety was very positive and the quality of the finished work is commendable. The Project Management team were positive throughout delivery and worked flexibly with us to ensure the structure was delivered within the targeted timescale to allow follow-on activities to progress.
Vinci Construction
The works required very high quality exposed concrete finishes to soffits, walls, gallery beams and rooflights. The site was very restricted with limited access and storage. Despite the restrictions and given the exposed coastal location of the site, you managed to complete the concrete frame to a very high quality finish.
BAM Construction
TVC assisted us throughout the project providing a knowledgeable and professional service within a very tight timeframe. The TVC approach to Health & Safety, Quality, Production and Site Management mirrors the values set by Interserve allowing us as the Main Contractor and TVC to work as a team and achieve the project goals.
Interserve
Thames Valley Construction and Civil Engineering Ltd have been proactive in helping BAM achieve its National Skills Academy for Construction targets. They have always provided the evidence required promptly. They have supported us with work experience placements for young people aged 14-16 which has been excellent.
BAM Construction
Thames Valley Construction and Civil Engineering have successfully completed 2 no. concrete frame apartment blocks, one being 7 storeys high and the other 5 storeys high, running concurrently and completing the works ahead of target programme. Their site team, led by Tamlyn Lingham continually maintained safety standards.
Bouygues UK
Thames Valley Construction Ltd were contracted to undertake the construction of the concrete frame for Skanska on their 66 Queen Square project in the centre of Bristol. The construction consisted of both traditionally reinforced and post tensioned in-situ concrete.
Skanska
Thames Valley Construction have completed the concrete frame contract on the Cardiff and Vale College project for Willmott Dixon Construction during October 2013 – June 2014 of the build; the level of workmanship, assertiveness and communication skills are exceptional and the best I have ever experienced for over 18 years.
Willmott Dixon
Ben and Simon, Thanks for your hospitality today as part of the LRQA audit which is going extremely well (expected nothing else!!). I just wanted to drop a note regarding my observations. As usual the project is controlled very well. Regarding TVC, often we see contractors who are safe and do what we ask. However with TVC they are clearly proactive.
