ABOUT

At ACR Build, we bring together trusted local tradesmen, tailored project management, and a client-first approach to deliver high-quality building work across Hertfordshire. From concept to completion, we’re hands-on, transparent, and committed to making your vision a reality.

Who We Are

Our project team brings together the best tradesmen with proven expertise in building, roofing, electrics, plumbing, tiling, windows, doors, flooring, and fitments. Every element can be tailored to your needs, or we can offer practical options you may not have considered.

How We Work

Utilising years of local Hertfordshire knowledge, we connect with the area’s best architects, specialists, and tradespeople to manage your build from start to finish.

We’ve found that experienced tradesmen often solve on-site challenges better than software. That’s why we rely on a working Foreman and hands-on project management from our Managing Director and Founder, Andy. Our unique management system and pricing structure keep every stage of the build on track.

Why Choose Us

A successful build starts with a strong client relationship. We tailor our approach to each project, getting to know you and your vision from the outset.

Transparency and trust are at the heart of what we do—we’re accessible, honest, and committed to keeping you informed at every step.

Our client reviews and completed projects speak for themselves. Ready to discuss your plans? Book a no-obligation conversation with us today.

ACR added a kitchen extension to the house we have lived in for thirty years. We stayed in situ throughout. At all stages we found Andy and the guys positive, good humoured and considerate. The quality of the work was excellent, and even when they hit the unexpected, which will always happen in a period house, they were pragmatic and worked through the issues. Andy is repeatedly described as trustworthy in these reviews. I got that impression when deciding to use ACR and it remained to the end of the project.

I cannot speak highly enough about Andy and the team at ACR who recently completed a full home renovation for us. This included relocating the kitchen to the other side of the house, fitting extra large windows across the back of the house, adding a flat roof, building an outside patio, knocking through rooms to give a more open plan feel and a larger bathroom, fitting a Rako smart lighting system, upgrading the plumbing and making the whole house look amazing! From the first meeting with Andy, I was impressed with his level of communication and engagement, and this continued throughout the 6 months project and after completion. Andy was always on hand to answer any questions I had or sugg...

We engaged Andy and his team to reconfigure the downstairs layout, remove a chimney breast, install a small ensuite, and redecorate our house. This was the first time we had undertaken a project of this scale so it was a steep learning curve. The majority of the work took place February to July 2022 and was finally completed in October 2022 because we were waiting for a particular internal door set to come back into stock. From the start Andy was very communicative and interested in our project, answered a lot of questions, and provided a lot of detail in his quote. There were some challenges along the way, which is to be expected when working with an existing building, but these issues were...

ACR Build, led by Andy Ryder, have enabled us to radically transform this 1972 house into a contemporary, spacious, light and energy efficient home with full solar array and excellent insulation. An awkward side door, step and narrow hallway has been changed into a welcoming, step free, front entrance with wide hallway. A carport and garage, both too narrow for a car, have been demolished and with a rear extension, a large open plan kitchen, diner, lounge has been formed. Full height sliding doors and architecturally interesting 5m long roof light, all with solar glass to prevent the greenhouse effect, give a light airy feel and easy inside-outside living. A new front lounge, new utility roo...

From start to finish I was in safe hands. Andy, was honest all the way through and kept his word as the project progressed. He is extremely knowledgeable and was proactive in making suggestions that would improve the build. It really felt that Andy cared about doing a great job, and that it mattered to him that we were happy too. His team were friendly, helpful and considerate throughout. They always turned up as agreed and worked to schedule. Andy managed my expectation on costs all the way through and provided frequent updates. It came as no surprise that the project was finished on time, on budget and with an excellent finish. Over the years I have worked with several building compa...
