Our Story.

SilverTeal started out in 2017 with a vision to reshape the landscape of construction services and fuelled by a desire to improve the services for both clients and staff. 

Professional apprentices and the younger work force have a reputation for having poor salaries and stressful work environments. As a result, they are often excluded from industry discussions that dictate the way the construction sector will move forward. We want to changes this putting them at the forefront of the business decisions and discussions.
 
Our founder Joe Marshall embarked on a journey to carve a business niche that prioritised quality, innovation whilst empowering young talent. ​

Early Development and Milestones
In 2017, SilverTeal (then known as JSM) began advertising on social media and in the Yellow Pages, offering planning application and measured surveying services. By 2018, the first project materialized – a small set of measured floor plans. The journey continued, navigating through challenges and uncertainties, including the COVID-19 pandemic. By 2022, SilverTeal had grown to undertake in excess of 150 projects, while still operating as a demanding side hustle delivering small residential projects

Recognition and Growth
Our directors' commitment to excellence was acknowledged through nominations such as the RICS Young Surveyor of the Year and success in the South-East Construction Awards. In 2022, recognizing the overwhelming workload, SilverTeal transitioned into a full-time endeavor and made several key recruitments, expanding services to encompass architectural, building surveying, and quantity surveying roles. The scope of projects broadened to include new builds, flat conversions, listed building consents, party wall matters, and much more.

Diversifying into Commercial Projects
Venturing into the commercial sphere, SilverTeal secured a number of high-profile clients, adding a new dimension to our portfolio. The company now boasts the capacity to deliver services across various realms of the construction industry, actively seeking to build a robust network and grow our reputation through strong client relationships in the residential, public, and commercial sectors.

Our Purpose
At the core of SilverTeal's existence is a purpose that propels us forward – to attract, develop, and retain young architectural and surveying talent.

Our goal is to make a genuine difference in the construction industry, driving change, leveraging new technologies, and fostering innovation.
