Complete building and carpentry service operating across Chichester and the South Coast since 2004
Building Confidence,
One Project at a Time
We love what we do. We love working with clients to deliver their dream project, drawing on advice and inspiration from our experience building in the UK and abroad. Our approach is to engage early with clients as they plan their building works; from new builds to full building refurbishment, domestic extensions to commercial projects.
Our experience shows that the best outcomes come from open communication, so our values are trust, clarity and respect. In practice, that means a single point of contact, honest timelines, and no jargon from the moment you first get in touch until the day your project is complete.
The business has grown through recommendation and referral. We do embrace technology across technical aspects of our building solutions, but we don't invest heavily in marketing so this website is here simply to give you the information and contact details you need. Customer testimonials are available, and because we maintain good relationships with past clients they're often happy for new clients to visit their finished builds and hear about their experience first hand — without us in the room!
Every project starts with a conversation. Get in touch, and we'll talk through what you have in mind — no obligation, just a chat.

Comprehensive Construction Services
01
Whether you're adding space for a growing family or reimagining how your home works day to day, we design extensions that feel like they've always been there. From single-storey additions to full two-storey builds, we specialise in creating open-plan living spaces — kitchens, dining and lounge areas that flow into one another and open out onto the garden, so inside and outside living become one and the same.
02
Full house remodelling, done properly. Whatever the age or style of your home — from period character to contemporary design — we can take on every aspect of the transformation: complete plumbing and electrical packages, structural changes, and everything in between, from the ground up to a finished dream home.
03
Building from the ground up gives you the freedom to get every detail right, and we're with you from the very first conversation to the final finish. We work closely with architects and engineers to bring your vision to life, whether that's a contemporary family home or something more traditional in character — always built to last, and always built around how you actually want to live.
04
We bring the same care and attention to commercial projects as we do to family homes. Our experience spans a wide range of business types from yoga studios designed around calm, natural flow, to medical facilities built to meet precise regulatory and functional demands of clinical use. Each project starts with understanding three things: what the business owner needs, what the end user experiences, and what the budget allows — so the finished space doesn't just look right, it works exactly as it's meant to.
We stay on top of the latest commercial Building Regulations so you don't have to, managing everything from fit-outs and refurbishments to new builds, always with the clear communication that keeps your business running with minimal disruption.
About Oak Construction
Phil Meckiffe has owned and operated Oak Construction since 2004. Having grown up in Hampshire and he built his early career abroad working learning a wide range of carpentry and building techniques and styles in America, Australia and Ireland. That breadth gives him a distinctive viewpoint on every project, and he goes above and beyond to exceed client expectations at both the planning and build stages.
Working alongside architects, engineers and a small number of tried and trusted trade specialists, Oak Construction takes great pride in the work we do and the finish we deliver. Every trade specialist is fully trained and qualified, for both private and commercial clients, and all work is carried out in full compliance with NICEIC electrical standards, Gas Safe requirements, and current Building Regulations.
Every project starts the same way: a conversation. We'll talk through what you're hoping to achieve, visit the site, and give you honest, early advice on what's possible. From there, we work up a proposal together with architects and engineers, agree a clear scope and timeline, and keep you in the loop at every stage of the build — so there are no surprises, only the finished project you set out to achieve.
