A.R.N Projects
A registered construction company in the United Kingdom.
Overview
A.R.N Projects is a family-run construction business headquartered in the North West of England, specialising in bespoke new builds, high-quality home renovations and property conversions. It is based around the ethos of honesty, integrity and industriousness, originally promoted by its founder, John Dewhurst, and emphasises six core values in its business operations.
History
The company traces its roots to the Dewhurst family, a long-established name in the construction industry in the Preston and Fylde Coast area. According to the company’s website, the business is “founded on strong family values” and committed to delivering high-quality, custom-designed homes that align with clients’ vision and needs.[1]
Originally operating under an earlier trading name (for example a building contractor known as J M Dewhurst Building Contractors in the early days) and spanning three generations of the Dewhurst family, the business evolved into its current form.
Business Model and Services
A.R.N Projects offers a “turnkey” construction service for bespoke homes: new builds, full-house renovations, conversions and extensions. It emphasises a personalised, collaborative approach where each client’s vision is realised through a mix of craftsmanship, modern innovation and attention to detail.[2][3]
The company highlights its core values as the framework for decision-making and expects every member of its team (existing or new) to “embrace and embody” those values in every interaction.
Core Values
While not all six core values are listed publicly, the company clearly emphasises the founding ethos of Honesty, Integrity and Industriousness, attributed to John Dewhurst.[4]
