Brand Assets

Brand Story

Arghco is the merger and consolidation of respected industry leaders like SBD International, Comtek, Elite Construction, HandyHub, Teoranta, PaintBlock, Hicks Furniture, and DV8 Design. While some of these brands continue to operate as independent subsidiaries, their resources, expertise, and services now unite under the Arghco name to offer a true end-to-end turnkey solution. 

These strategic mergers and consolidation were the result of many years of seeing client projects suffer from delays, escalating and uncontrolled budgets, bad workmanship, late supply, lack of specialist expertise, and poor project management. By combining the proven capabilities of our founding brands, Arghco was created to eliminate these pain points delivering projects on time, on budget, and with uncompromising quality.

This unified approach brings together decades of experience in architecture, interior design, construction, joinery, and project management. Whether clients require a complete turnkey solution or a single specialised service, Arghco adapts to their needs with the same level of expertise and precision. From luxury hotels, bars, restaurants, and destination resorts to high-end residential projects and flagship retail spaces, Arghco delivers design, build, and fit out services that set new industry benchmarks. Our collaborative culture ensures every project — whether large or small, partial or complete — benefits from the unique strengths of our legacy brands, resulting in spaces that are functional, beautiful, and built to endure.

 

The Origin of the Name

The name Arghco was born from a moment of frustration — the kind of “Argh!” moment, that clients and ourselves feel when projects run late, budgets spiral, and quality slips. We took that frustration and turned it into a mission: to eliminate the headaches that plague construction, design, and fit out projects.

The name also subtly echoes back to Arklow, a coastal town in Ireland, reflecting our roots in delivering projects across the UK and Ireland before expanding internationally. The “Co” stands for “Company” — but also for “Our Company” symbolising our commitment to providing all services under one trusted brand for one clear result. In short, Arghco is more than a name — it’s our promise to transform industry frustration into client satisfaction, delivering One Brand. One Result.
