Our roots
Why we build
Why we build
Article Builds was founded by cousins Martin and Ben Neenan, inspired by the generations before them. Raised around the tools of the trade, we learned from our fathers and uncles — craftsmen who built with pride and care. That legacy shaped us into a business that blends tradition with modern precision.

Why we build
We believe building is personal. From thoughtful extensions to elegant garden rooms, every space reflects the lives within. We focus on quality, honesty, and clean work, building with the same care we saw growing up — because Article Builds is more than a name, it’s a continuation of family values.
Our values
Why we build
Our friends
We’re here to help shape your home with heart. The spaces we create aren't just bricks and timber — they’re places for stories, growth, and connection. It’s not just construction. It’s your legacy, built with soul.
Our friends
Our friends
Across three generations, we’ve cultivated a trusted network of specialist tradesmen and third-party contractors throughout Lichfield and its surrounding areas. These are people we’ve worked beside, grown with, and come to count on. They share our values of integrity, precision, and pride in every job. Together, we deliver a full-service approach backed by mutual respect and the kind of trust that only time can earn.
Our community
Lichfield isn’t just where we work — it’s where we grew up, raised families, and built a legacy. We take genuine pride in shaping the homes and spaces of our community, treating every project as if it were our own. Being part of this city means everything to us, and it’s a privilege to help neighbours turn dreams into lasting structures.
Our commitment to the future
We’re deeply aware of the construction industry’s impact on the planet. Article Builds now runs fully electric vehicles and continues to explore eco-conscious ways to reduce our carbon footprint across extensions, conversions, orangeries, and garden rooms.
"I want my 7-year-old son to be proud of us as environmentally friendly builders. We must do better to positively contribute to our future — and I’m committed to making that happen."
— Ben Neenan, Director
