About MTR Construction

Experienced Local Builder & Project Manager
I'm Matthew Ralph, founder of MTR Construction. I've spent more than two decades working in the construction industry, starting out on the tools before progressing into site and project management. Before establishing MTR Construction, I spent many years working for a well-known and respected local contractor, managing and overseeing projects ranging from multi-million-pound renovations and new builds through to domestic extensions and smaller residential projects. That experience has shaped the way I run MTR Construction today. I believe a successful build is about more than the finished result — it's about careful planning, high standards of workmanship, clear communication and making the whole process as straightforward and stress-free as possible for the customer. I remain personally involved throughout our projects, from the initial discussions and planning through to managing the work on site and completion. My priority is to deliver a well-managed project, built properly and with the same attention to detail I'd expect in my own home.

Our Building Process
1. Initial Consultation & Site Visit
Our process begins with a personal consultation. We’ll visit your site in Tavistock (or the surrounding areas) to understand your vision, budget, and timeline. We’ll assess the current structure, take measurements, and discuss feasibility, ensuring we fully grasp your needs before moving forward.
2. Design & Planning
Design & Planning
Once we understand your vision, we work closely with you, your architect and any other professionals involved to help move the project forward smoothly. We can advise on buildability, structural considerations and practical construction details early in the process, helping to avoid issues later on. We also work alongside building control and structural engineers throughout the project to ensure all work is completed to current regulations and high standards
3. Detailed Quote & Agreement
After finalising the design, we provide a transparent, fixed-price quote with no hidden costs. Once you’re happy, we agree on a timeline, and the project kicks off. We’ll confirm key milestones so you know exactly when each stage will be completed.
4. Groundworks & Structural Construction
With planning in place, we begin the groundwork. This includes excavation, foundations, drainage, and any steelwork or structural supports. We keep you updated at every step and ensure all work meets the highest standards and current regulations.
5. Construction & Project Management
Our experienced team takes over with precision and care. Throughout the construction phase, we oversee every aspect—from coordinating skilled trades to ensuring materials are delivered on time. We provide regular progress updates, so you’re always informed. We manage budgets, schedules, and quality, ensuring the project stays on track. And as we near completion, we ensure all finishing touches meet your expectations, delivering a result that’s both beautiful and built to last.
