MOD secure-site programme

Specialist contractors, not generalists.

The reasons clients return, and the reasons new principals come on board.

Cleared and vetted

Eighteen years of cleared delivery on secure military and government estates. Discretion isn't a soft skill on these sites, it's a clause.

Independently accredited

UKAS-accredited to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. NASC, Constructionline Gold, SSIP and Cyber Essentials Plus.

CISRS scaffolders, CPCS plant operators

Every scaffolder is CISRS-carded and every plant operator is CPCS-trained. All directly employed by First Safety Construction.

Self-perform across civils

Foundations, drainage, kerbs, surfacing, delivered with our own team and our own plant. One phone number when the programme moves.
