About Conamar - Principal Construction Contractors London & Home Counties

Who are Conamar Building Services?

Established in 1984, Conamar Building Services are a family-owned construction company and we are proud of the work we do. Specialising in new build, design and build, refurbishment, fit out, or a mix, we are the contractor who understands your project, can offer best value and quality and above all will give you a successful outcome – a building fit for purpose.

Why Us?

As a family owned contractor, we have more invested in our projects on site, so each one is that much more important to us, giving our clients projects which run smoothly, and buildings that work. This results in over 80% of our business coming from referral and repeat business.

As much at home working on confined city centre sites as green field ones, we look at what our clients want to achieve, and make sure that we give the best help to make that happen.

We deliver high quality construction work, whatever the sector, whoever the client, whatever the budget. Our standards are high and our business is backed up by a strong family ethos. But what makes us stand out more than anything else is our team’s approachability and commitment to getting the job done, without conflict, from the start to end of every project.

Do you need to be open for business during a project?

Live environments are a speciality of ours

Are your timescales for delivery tight?

Is your site awkward, throwing up logistical challenges and physical constraints?

We’re imaginative, quick-thinking and love solving problems

Projects run best when clients, contractors and specialists are honest, open and keen to collaborate. The success of your project, not just at completion, but for years to come is all that matters. Because we have a light, flat hierarchy, with directors who want to be involved, you’ll get input, ideas and answers fast.And no matter how good the end result is going to be, you still want value for money. Because we partner properly, we come up with creative solutions, look for ways to give you more than you asked, and we always meet budgets and deadlines.

Your Reputation is Safe with Us

We also understand that we represent our client and their reputation on site, and as such we work to pre-agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
