Part of a well-known family-run group of independent coffee shops across Hampshire, Josie’s is recognised for its speciality coffee, all-day breakfasts, and relaxed brunch offering.

Working alongside TEKNE throughout the project, our team carried out a full programme of refurbishment works, including plumbing, roofing, carpentry, decorating, and general upgrades throughout the property. Great care was taken to preserve and restore the character of the historic building while introducing modern functionality suited to a busy café environment.

The finished result is a beautifully revitalised space that celebrates the charm and heritage of the original property while creating a warm and welcoming destination for customers to enjoy.

This bespoke project includes a spacious ground-floor garden room and external store, with a first-floor office and bathroom above.
Constructed using handmade clay bricks and roof tiles, the property blends timeless design with modern functionality.

Key features include aluminium bi-fold doors and windows, solid oak doors and skirtings, elegant glass balustrade stairs, and a striking vaulted ceiling.

Project Value: £200,000

Built and completed in 2025, Whistle Stop Cottages have been thoughtfully designed to blend in with their central village surroundings. Offering a choice of internal layout to suit, one cottage is open plan whilst the other follows a more traditional format. Both properties feature underfloor heating downstairs (with radiator heating upstairs) via an air source heat pump, plus also have photo-voltaic solar panels on the roof, and EV charging in the parking area.

In this instance, the property has an open-plan ground floor. Access is via a footpath to the side, which leads to the front door. There is a stylish fitted kitchen with space for dining, plus, to the rear aspect, a well-proportioned sitting room with French windows out to the rear garden. There is a downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms (both with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom fitted with a contemporary suite.

Outside, there is a rear garden which is mostly laid to lawn, and driveway parking at the front.

C&G have delivered a two bedroom end-of-terrace property situated on a corner plot in Dockenfield Close, Bedhampton, Havant. Having only recently been completed the property has already sold on the open market. The large garden and open plan kitchen/diner made a very saleable family home.

C&G Building Contractors have started clearing a site for a new residential development at Evelegh Road in Farlington, Portsmouth. Amendments to the existing design are currently being finalised with the architect and the local planning department. This sought after location on Portsdown Hill provides a South facing panoramic vista across both Portsmouth Harbour and Langstone Harbour which are to be harnessed within the design. Works on site are anticipated to complete in early summer 2019.

C&G have started work on a new build home for a private developer in Havant, Hampshire. The two bedroom end-of-terrace house will provide comfortable family accommodation with the advantage of a good size garden. Due to the location of the project C&G have had to take a sympathetic approach to the construction process given the proximity of the neighbouring properties. The project is expected to complete in October 2018 ready for sale on the open market.

Works have now been completed at Home Farm in Selsey. The ten-unit development is made up of a mixture of character oak framed barns and modern era extensions making a quadrangle of units sited around a central courtyard. The existing buildings were completely gutted and redesigned to accommodate the ten new units consisting of both one and two bedroom modern apartments. Although the fixtures and fittings were mirrored throughout, no two units were the same. Each unit was individually designed taking into account the end user. Some of the units incorporated vaulted ceilings providing extra height and space whilst also showing off the original oak beams. The units were delivered to the client ready for rental on the open market.

C&G have completed the refurbishment of INEOS Automotive’s new Research and Development Centre at one of their Lyndhurst sites in Hampshire. Once a dilapidated cattle shed the building has been transformed to provide INEOS with a high-end facility for ongoing company projects. The project brief required the redevelopment of the site to include full contractor M&E design. Totalling 750m2 the unit combines both office and workshop space providing INEOS with a multi-functional environment in which to operate. Click here for full project details.
