ABOUT US
Hand Deere & Cox are a practice offering professional construction services to the private and public sectors in the construction industry.
​
HDC dates back to 1973 at which time Alan Hand setup in business with John Hatton under the name of Hatton & Hand. Hand Deere & Cox became the practice's name when Hatton & Hand merged with Monk & Deere in 1989.
​
We are a practice that pride ourselves in the personal service we provide. Each client's account is handled by an overseeing Partner. In fact, it is quite usual for a Partner to act as the primary contact for more complex or sensitive projects.
​
The core principle of the practice is to provide cost information, guidance and control at each stage of a project. We place our clients in control by keeping them aware of the cost and contractual implications of their decisions during the complicated process of building procurement.
​
Testament to the quality of our service, the practice obtains the vast majority of its business through repeat custom. As a result we have developed several long term relationships with our current client list.
​
