Professional | Precise | Built from experience
DARK Construction Solutions was founded by Dara Arkinson after 24 years of hands-on experience across residential, commercial, and bespoke construction projects. From site operations to project leadership, he’s built a reputation for attention to detail, reliability, and problem-solving under pressure.
DARK was created to raise the standard of support available to self-builders, homeowners, developers, and industry professionals; offering clear, independent insight with the kind of structure most projects are missing.
Our services go beyond traditional consulting: we represent, guide, and deliver.
From fire door inspections and snagging reports to condition handling, design liaison, and full project support, we tailor everything to your goals, your budget, and your risk profile.
Whether you’re planning a loft conversion, reviewing a new build, or ensuring regulatory compliance, DARK delivers sharp, adaptable expertise; with a service designed to add clarity, confidence, and results at every stage.
Our people
Led by expertise. Supported by trusted partners.
Founded by Dara Arkinson, DARK Construction Solutions is the result of over two decades of hands-on site experience, strategic project leadership, and a drive to raise the standard of construction support in the UK.
While Dara remains actively involved in every project, DARK is supported by a growing team of trusted professionals working behind the scenes; ranging from project support staff to experienced tradespeople, designers, engineers, and planning specialists.
Many of our collaborators are established experts in their own right, allowing us to scale, specialise, and deliver the highest standards without compromise.
We’re building more than just projects – we’re building a long-term, reliable and results-driven company that brings together the right people to get the job done properly, from the first plan to the final sign-off.
