A Lifetime in the Trade
Ben Minto Building Contractor Ltd was built on a lifetime of experience — and a father's example. Growing up helping on site during school holidays, Ben developed a love of the trade from a very young age, learning the importance of hard work, quality workmanship, and taking pride in every project.
After completing his bricklaying apprenticeship at Borders College and spending over a decade working for established contractors, Ben took the leap in 2019 and started his own business — and he's never looked back.
