Meet the people
behind the build
Paul and his brother Stephen founded the company in July 2010 with the ambition of creating beautiful homes, workplaces, and spaces. For us, two of the most important aspects of any project are attention to detail and building strong relationships with our clients.
Every project begins with understanding your needs, aspirations, and vision for your property, as well as the practical requirements it must fulfil. By taking the time to fully develop and understand these elements with you, we can ensure the finished result is delivered exactly as you envisioned.
Today, we are proud to have a fantastic team of highly skilled and experienced craftsmen who are also passionate about their work and committed to delivering first-class service and exceptional quality on every project.
After over 15 years of trading, we continue to lead a close-knit, highly skilled team of tradespeople, project managers, and long-standing subcontractors, many of whom have worked with us for over a decade.
This consistency in personnel translates into consistency on site: dependable quality, smooth communication, and results that speak for themselves.


Stephen joined the business at its inception in 2010 as an apprentice joiner and, alongside his brother Paul, has progressed through the ranks to become a foreman and now a site manager. He is currently overseeing a £2.5 million refurbishment and extension of a beautiful detached Georgian home and gatehouse in Edinburgh and managing it exceptionally well in his usual calm manner!
Slawomir — or “Slav”, as he is known within the team — moved to Scotland from Poland in 2007 to work as a joiner and joined our team in 2020. Since then, he has progressed through the business to become one of our most reliable and highly regarded foremen. He specialises in high-quality joinery finishes and cabinet making, earning recognition and praise from many satisfied clients.
Robert has worked as a joiner throughout his career, previously running his own joinery company in Sweden before moving to Scotland in 2017. He joined True Build in 2021 and specialises in high-quality joinery finishes. An exceptionally detailed and thorough craftsman, Robert has also proven himself to be an excellent foreman.
Following his degree in Animation Design, Matty has successfully applied his creative and technical skills to landscaping. He joined True Build in 2024 to support the development of our external landscaping projects and has since progressed into the management team as an Assistant Site Manager, having recently passed his management exams. We look forward to seeing Matty continue to bring his strong work ethic and attention to detail to future projects.
Before joining True Build, Nicola was an Associate Director within the commercial division of Knight Frank. Following a career break to raise her children, she transitioned into office management within the construction industry. Nicola joined the True Build team in 2023 during a period of continued expansion and has played a key role in supporting Paul with the management of the growing team.
