ABOUT US

Project Nine is a founder-led residential contractor specialising in complex renovations, heritage restorations and bespoke homes across Essex, Suffolk and the surrounding counties.

We work collaboratively with homeowners, architects and consultants, combining careful pre-construction planning, technical expertise and experienced project management to deliver considered, well-managed residential projects.

Building BetteR

Project Nine was founded by brothers Sam and Jake Holman with a shared ambition to raise the standard of residential construction.

Drawing on complementary backgrounds across residential and commercial construction, building services and property maintenance, they recognised that the most successful projects weren't simply built well – they were carefully planned long before construction began.

Today, that philosophy remains at the heart of the business. Sam and Jake continue to play an active role across Project Nine, working closely with clients and project teams to provide experienced oversight, clear direction and a personal approach throughout the construction process.

We specialise in significant home renovations, listed buildings, bespoke homes and architect-led residential projects, where thoughtful planning, technical expertise and skilled craftsmanship all contribute to a successful outcome.

Our Difference

Exceptional homes aren't created by chance.

They're created through rigorous planning, clear communication and a collaborative approach from the very beginning.

Our pre-construction process allows us to resolve technical challenges, coordinate consultants, refine budgets and programme every stage before work begins on site.

The result is greater certainty for our clients, smoother project delivery and a more considered final outcome

For clients undertaking significant renovations or bespoke homes, that level of planning makes all the difference.

Our Approach

UNDERSTAND - We take time to understand your ambitions, the property and the opportunities within it.

PLAN - Working closely with architects, engineers and specialist consultants, we coordinate the technical details, establish realistic budgets and programmes, and resolve construction challenges before construction begins.

BUILD - Our experienced team delivers exceptional homes with careful attention to detail, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction methods.

REFINE - From bespoke joinery to carefully coordinated interior finishes, we ensure every detail is delivered with the same care as the structure itself.

Two men are standing in a kitchen near a window, talking and smiling. One man holds a white mug, and the other rests his hands on the green kitchen cabinets. The kitchen features a white marble sink, a dish with a pear, a black teapot, and a white jug. There is a blue-patterned valance above the window and a colorful framed painting of bowls and a pitcher hanging on the wall.
