The firm, which began trading in 1880, employed around 50 staff and turned over £10m on projects around the Midlands and East Anglia.
Most recently it worked for the Nottingham Community Housing Association on new build projects up to 30 homes and also carried out school work.
Mark Denman, the fifth generation of the Denman family, led the business, prior to FRP Advisory’s Leicester office taking over as administrators this week.
