Run by your project manager. Backed by Big John.

Every HYPE build is run by a dedicated project manager, the person who plans it, drives it day to day, and takes your calls. John sits behind them as the owner, stepping in when a job needs him. The trades are vetted and held to one operating standard, documented and filmed every step.

The people

One founder. One operating system. One brilliant team.

HYPE is built and run by Big John. Started on the tools. Came up through the Potteries. Built this thing from the ground up: now run day to day by a project manager and a team that makes it happen.

John Sale.

Founder

Started on the tools. Worked with investors, builders, and letting agents. Realised the system was broken and built HYPE to fix it.

When I first started in the building trade, I worked for myself, on the tools, working closely with property investors, builders and letting agents. I quickly realised the whole process, from buying a property to letting it out, is ridiculously fragmented. None of the people involved, the investor, the trades, the agent, the tenant, took account of the others. So I built The HYPE System to pull it all together.

Phil Warren.

Project manager

Runs the job day to day: the person who plans it, drives it, and takes your call.

Phil is the project manager on HYPE builds: the single point of contact from the first site walk to the handover pack.

From a client's Google review of the pub-to-flats conversion: "A special mention to Phil, the Project Manager, who was brilliant throughout. He was always helpful, easy to deal with, and kept everything moving smoothly from start to finish."

Behind the camera on HypeTV: the reason every build is on film.

Connor shoots the build films on HypeTV. If you have watched a HYPE job go from strip-out to handover, you have watched his work.

The films are the site's proof system: what the camera saw is what the client gets.

The structure

Four layers. One standard.

Every HYPE build runs on a real structure: not one man and a van.

01

Project manager

Runs your job day to day and is your main point of contact.

02

Site managers

On the ground, keeping every site moving to programme.

03

Trusted trades

Trades we know and trust, matched to each job.

04

Vetted subcontractors

Bona fide specialists brought in where the job calls for it.

Quality is controlled by The HYPE System and the project manager's years of experience. Nothing gets signed off unless it's right.

  • Roofing
  • Carpentry & Joinery

That's the standard: every layer, every job: We do things right. We do things good. We get reviews.

For the right build only

Build it right.
Build it HYPE.

We take on substantial building work across Stoke-on-Trent and the Midlands: extensions, conversions, full refurbishments, commercial works and repairs after fire, flood or damage. Properly scoped projects, not odd jobs or reactive maintenance.

We're VAT registered, so on smaller jobs a non-VAT builder will always undercut us. That's just the maths. Our work pays off where doing it properly matters more than the cheapest quote.

If that sounds like your project, tell us what you've got. We'll tell you straight whether we're right for it, and if we're not, we'll say so. Either way, we wish you all the best x.
