About Us

Melvin Construction, established in 2015 by Michael McGlone and Kilian Feely, is dedicated to delivering exceptional construction projects throughout Cornwall.

We have the expertise to work with you, on your project, every step of the way. From planning, designing and project managing, to building and finishing, meaning you will have confidence knowing your project is in the most capable of hands.

Testimonials

Keda and Dan, Carn Marth

‘From start to finish Melvin Construction have been great to have on site. Nothing has been too much trouble and we are extremely happy with the quality of work. All the people working have been really friendly and approachable, happy to answer questions and make alterations where necessary. We have several bespoke elements, and have chosen some more challenging products and finishes which they have had no issue with whatsoever and the end result couldn’t be better. Any issues that have arisen have always been resolved quickly and Michael and the rest of the team have always been on hand to discuss and work out a solution. We couldn’t be happier with our ‘forever home’ but if the opportunity arose to do another project in future we wouldn’t hesitate to work with Melvin Construction again.’

Alex and Fraser, Port Isaac

“Melvin Construction completed a house build for us in July 2024. The process from start to finish was seamless and stress free, despite some challenges along the way with materials being delayed or changes to the plans. Michael, his full time staff on site and in the office, plus the trade they brought on to site, were professional at all times and definitely went the extra mile in facilitating the process for us. We would highly recommend them.”
