Ardmore Group

About the Company

We are a privately-owned, family operated main contractor established in 1974. We specialise in unlocking large scale complex projects through our direct delivery capability, technical and engineering expertise, and pro-active approach to managing risk. We’ve designed and built some of the UK’s most significant projects, establishing an unrivalled reputation as one of the country’s leading residential and hotel builders. Our traditional, hands-on approach to construction puts us at the heart of the action. That helps in two ways. Firstly, it means that clients benefit from our direct supply chain control; cutting down on waste, saving time, and making their money go further. Second, our staff benefit from the stability, commitment and flexibility of business with over 50 years’ delivery experience, the extensive technical and specialist support of our directly controlled supply chain, and the opportunity to help shape some of the country’s most exciting construction projects. We’ve delivered some of the UK’s most significant design and build projects. What have we learned along the way? Every project has its own set of unique challenges. Whether we’re creating a five-storey basement beneath the listed Old War Office building, decanting over 650 households to unlock a 1,200 unit regeneration scheme at Parkside, or simply delivering some of the UK’s best super-prime apartments at Ten Trinity Square, we always bring our hands-on experience and technical know-how to find the best solution
