Established in 2008, Element Construction has grown to become one of the most reputable and relied-upon firms specialising in high-end residential construction in central and southwest London.
Leveraging the experience and expertise accumulated over 16 years, our distinctive strength lies in skillful project management and the thorough execution of building extraordinary homes. We embrace the challenges presented by new and increasingly technical builds each year, and our portfolio of work in this area of London now encompasses over 80 large scale projects.
Despite our extensive experience, we take pride in maintaining a boutique approach. This ensures that we don’t spread our skills and resources too thin, allowing us to provide each client and project with the undivided attention they deserve throughout their duration.
Our commitment to this approach is reinforced by our robust relationships with clients, architects, engineers, designers, and suppliers. Consequently, a significant portion of our projects comes through recommendation, serving as proof of their confidence in our capability to deliver.
Our core team of Contact Managers and skilled Carpenters have been working together for many years and are committed to delivering on time with an uncompromised level of quality and craftmanship.

With 25 years in the residential construction industry, building beautiful homes is certainly well engrained. Originally from Wellington, New Zealand Nick studied Quantity Surveying and served his building apprenticeship there. In 2006, Nick moved to the UK and set up Element Construction, progressively learning the ropes of the refurbishment of Victorian London homes. Fast forward 17 years and whilst he is no longer ‘on the tools’, Nick’s knowledge of how to execute and deliver complex and technical builds, while closely maintaining the relationships of all the stakeholders involved has become his strength.
Nick directs the business with integrity and has always maintained that it’s solid core team and boutique approach is what gives Element Construction the ability to confidently deliver on every project.

Keeping things very much family owned and managed, Jackie’s role encompasses managing the small back office team who look after invoicing, accounts, HR, recruitment, payroll and social media. Jackie’s corporate experience in recruitment for 15 years prior was certainly very different, however now being an active part of how Element Construction has developed over the years has been hugely fulfilling.

“”
We were impressed by Element right from the tender process. Their finish standards are incredibly high and their approach is professional and honest. On several occasions during our build they proactively offered and then executed ideas which only enhanced our project.
The full team at Element were always friendly, hard-working and courteous. They made us feel like our project was their priority and genuinely seemed to want to do the best job they could, taking pride in their work. We recommend Element with full confidence. They were excellent throughout and are lovely people to boot.
Element successfully completed all works on time and to budget. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any building project as they not only care about their work and their clients but deliver to the highest standards.
Working with Element Construction was a pleasure. Nick and his team are highly professional and extremely competent and always go the extra mile to deliver on client’s expectations. No project is too ambitious and they bring expertise, experience and creativity to every aspect of the job. We recommend them very highly indeed.
