Merry Quizmas!
We’d have to be a stocking short of a tangerine not to share a festive headscratcher with you! If you’re looking to put the boxing back into Boxing Day, gather your friends and family, grab yourself an eggnog and find out who will Rule the Yule with these tinsel-teasers.

Dream House Nears Completion At High Peak New Build
Our client is thrilled. We’re moving into the final stages of our new build project at Whaley Bridge near Stockport – the one which three other builder developers branded as ‘unbuildable’!

Something which cursed the British weather as it became one of the wettest summers on record. 2007 was also the year that Mode Projects was […]
Why Bob the Builder is Almost Unemployed
