In 1971 directors Ernie Marshall and Brian Richardson established the Downderry Group and began building houses on their first site at Downderry in Cornwall.

To date the Building Division has built over 2000 houses to individual specifications and design at over 50 locations throughout Cornwall earning it an envied reputation for consistent quality and professionalism.

The Construction Division is responsible for the installation of infrastructure on larger sites and manages the company's extensive collection of plant equipment and machinery.

The company has developed a consistent reputation for delivering quality properties and services and the directors continue to use their expert knowledge of the building and civil engineering industries, coupled with prudent investment in land to develop a business capable of sustaining and enhancing the company's prominent position in the local market.

The Groups head office is based on part of its freehold industrial site at Beeching Park, Kelly Bray, Callington.
