About Us
Gemini Group came into being May of 1985, trading from the West Midlands, from premises that remain in our ownership.
Gemini identified a niche market that was undeveloped and predominently within the catering fraternity. Finance to purchase or develop catering establishments that may not have sufficient financial information to satisfy the mainstream lending sources.
This combined with the issues of a lack of knowledge of developing fast food take outs and restaurants and their requirements Gemini Construction was launched albeit initially under the banner of NIDON Building Contractors.
The company quickly gained a reputation for providing excellent services as a one stop shop, with architects, soil and ground investigation teams, ground works crews and construction teams all under the one roof, the ability to then finance those products and services gave us the edge over competitors.
Over the years Gemini has developed each area of work and with suitable and qualified leads, in order to ensure the expertise in each field is well above the norm.
As time has passed Gemini has been involved with many forms of construction and some 5 years ago were asked to sheet buildings for a large hot rolled steel building manufacturer as a sub-contractor, this led to small amounts of steel erecting then complete steel erecting and sheeting to setting out on virgin sites.
So 2006 Gemini entered into negotiations with Capital Steel Buildings Ltd to become a distributor in its own right taking on an area based in the West Midlands.
Gemini Steel Buildings Ltd was formed early part of 2007 with its first build in August at project sum in excess of £750K completed on time and within budget, with expansion plans being developed for early 2009. Gemini are now authorised suppliers to JCB, Drayton Manor Park, Arnold Clark, Charles Clark, Local Authorities, The Heritage Council, local and national developers of all sizes, and not to forget our major client base from members of the general public, householders for small garages and storage units.
Gemini along with our corporate body are now forging ahead, developing new products for niche markets, with fundamental changes due in the New Year.

WHAT IS LEASING?
Leasing is a contract between the funder (lessor) and a customer (lessee), giving the customer the use of the equipment in return for payment of rentals over an agreed period. The lessor retains ownership of the asset, which means that the customer pays to use the equipment over a set period of time – typically the agreed working life of the equipment.
In a nutshell, leasing provides you with alternative business funding.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LEASING?
Leasing Conserves Cash Reserves.
Leasing enables you to acquire the solution you need without making a substantial lump sum cash payment. This can then be used to better effect elsewhere in the organisation – such as product development, new staff or new business opportunities.
Leasing Is Tax Efficient.
If you pay corporation tax, leasing can be particularly attractive. Payments may be deducted from taxable profits and so the net cost of leasing the equipment is reduced.
Leasing Offers Fixed Payments.
Payments are fixed for the term of the lease, protecting you from changing interest rates. Knowing the amount of future payments enables more accurate budgeting and cash flow projections. And because payments are fixed, the true cost of leasing diminishes over time as the value of money depreciates.
Leasing Keeps Credit Lines Intact.
When you lease equipment, existing credit lines, such as any arrangements with your Bank, remain intact. This gives you the additional flexibility to use these arrangements, if necessary, in the future.
Leasing Provides Upgrade Options.
The flexibility of leasing allows your organisation to keep up with changes in technology and respond to any industry or competitive pressures.
Leasing Offers Flexible Payment Profiles
Payments can be made on a Monthly, Quarterly, Bi-Annual or Annual basis.
Leasing Can Provide 100% Financing
In most cases, all of the costs of a solution can be covered in your payments. We will finance equipment and services from a variety of suppliers, thereby simplifying your payments.
GSB
Gemini Steel Buildings’ products are built to individual specifications using extremely strong high tensile steel and the portal frame methodology. Portal frame means less steel is needed for larger spaces, reducing both erection costs and construction times – giving you better buildings in less time at lower cost. Gemini Steel Buildings also help with design, location site plans, construction and planning regulations to make the whole building process as smooth as possible.

GSC
Build
GSC provides a tailored new-build service designed to meet the needs of the modern construction market. We operate across a range of sectors including residential, education, social housing and extra care, commercial and retail, with a focus throughout on delivering the highest levels of sustainability and environmental efficiency.
At the heart of our approach is a commitment to forging long term relationships with clients, professionals and sub-contractors to create efficient and effective teams.
Alongside traditional new-build contracting, we also have a strong track record in Design and Build work and full project management.
Sustainability
GSC’s long term commitment to sustainability and the quality of the built environment is reflected both in our buildings and in the way we build them.
We are committed to working with all our stakeholders to meet the challenge of implementing sustainable design and construction principles within a sound economic framework.
Our own environmental management system underpins the construction process itself, recognising that buildings and structures can have a significant impact on the use of non renewable resources, energy and water in their construction and operation.
On our own development projects we are focused on delivering sustainable buildings which will go way beyond the requirements of current building regulations. The added value will be measured by savings in life cycle costs – with the ultimate aim of delivering truly carbon neutral buildings.
Design and Build
GSC believes that the full participation of the construction team at the earliest possible stage in the design development has a direct impact on the success of the project for all the participants.
Our Design and Build philosophy offers a modern, efficient approach to building procurement which delivers cost certainty, early completion dates and high quality buildings, tailored to your exact requirements.
With our early involvement in your project, work can commence on site as soon as you agree the initial design concept (and planning permission is obtained). The detailed design process can run concurrently with procurement and construction to facilitate the earliest possible occupation date – often several months in advance of the deadline achievable through traditional processes. Our experienced Design and Build project managers act as a single point of contact throughout the process, taking you from initial process to occupation of premises.
Commercial
GSC has wide experience at delivering new build projects in the commercial and industrial sectors.
From office space to industrial units, we have a strong track record in building new units, but also in refurbishing and refitting existing structures. We can work on either a traditional contracting or a Design and Build basis to help achieve on-time and on-budget completion, whatever your commercial project
Education
From primary schools to university colleges, GSC’s experience of building educational facilities has been developed over many decades.
The company’s portfolio ranges from community schools to privately funded schools and colleges, covering the design and build of new premises, and the refurbishment and enhancement of existing buildings.
Our expertise includes everything from classrooms, information technology blocks and sports halls to changing rooms, showers, saunas, restaurants, environmental areas, fencing and landscaping.
And with decades of experience behind us, all of this is delivered with complete consideration for, and an understanding of, the needs of the educational environment – whether it be coordinating with timetables and the annual education calendar or applying the very highest standards of health and safety regulation
