Tekton Group Ltd is one of the fastest growing software suppliers to the construction industry's contractors, sub-contractors and housebuilders, offering integrated and stand-alone products.

With 170 employees and a £28 million turnover, JP Group has clients as diverse as retail and fast food outlets, international oil companies, private and public developers, main contractors, motor dealerships and national supermarket chains.
Neil Smith, Chief Executive of JP Group, says: "Rather than simply offering general contracting, we can add more value by offering a project management role. We provide the customer with a dedicated team to project manage the complete project, ensuring fast and effective communication and decision-making, and co-ordination of all the parties involved. This means we deliver our customers' requirements on time and on budget and it's the reason why we have a significant amount of repeat business."
George and Harding Construction Ltd, another devoted user of Tekton's software, offer a visionary alternative to the fragmented structure of traditional contracting. Core capabilities include the design, construction and off-site fabrication of buildings and their infrastructure, as well as the re-fitting of interiors and exhibition stands.
Steve Bicknell, Financial Director, commented: "Changing systems is always a challenge, but I felt confident in Tekton's EVision team and their lead consultant was first-class. The implementation went extremely well."
The Company has been extremely impressed with Tekton's EVision solution and enhancements such as sub-contract ordering have been developed. George and Harding are now implementing Tekton's estimating software.
Other users of Tekton's estimating software include John Sisk, Kier Group and also Carillion National Building, part of Carillion's Construction to Services Group and a UK market leader in commercial building, focused primarily on the residential, retail, office, health, education, and defence & secure sectors.
Chris Roddie, Head of Programme Management, for Carillion, says: "The estimating market was changing to become more sub-contractor based and we wanted something modern to replace our old-fashioned software. We needed something strong to compare sub-contractor prices like-for-like."
