Two Trades, One Coordinated Team
Successful construction projects require building, brickwork, carpentry and finishing work to come together seamlessly. Cedar & Stone combines the complementary experience of directors Joe Gee and Jake Johnston within one coordinated team.
​
Joe leads the company’s building and brickwork, while Jake leads its carpentry and joinery. Their combined expertise allows each stage to be considered as part of the complete project, helping maintain continuity, solve practical challenges and deliver a consistent standard from the structural work through to the finishing details.

A Reliable Team Around Every Project
Alongside Joe and Jake, Cedar & Stone has a four-person core team that provides practical support across the principal building, brickwork, carpentry and joinery stages.
The building team includes Jack, a Level 2-qualified bricklayer, while Jake is supported by a labourer and apprentice carpenter. This gives the company a dependable hands-on team covering its two principal areas of expertise.
