What GPF Lewis does

GPF Lewis PLC is a privately held UK construction and refurbishment specialist founded in 2006 and headquartered in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, with an additional office in Clerkenwell, London. The firm operates across eight sectors—commercial, residential, education, healthcare, leisure, industrial, hospitality, and facades—and organises its delivery through three operating units: a core Construction Division handling new-build and refurbishment projects across sectors; GPF Lewis Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on education and healthcare projects valued £1m–£8m (often in live occupied environments); and a dedicated Facades Division providing turnkey building envelope remediation, including Building Safety Fund applications and EWS1 certification.

The underlying technology stack centres on the Procore quality and safety management platform, Building Information Modelling (BIM) for design coordination, and adoption of modern methods of construction including Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) extensions and modular design. Service delivery is supported by accredited systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001), Achilles UVDB, Constructionline Gold, and SafeContractor SSIP. Project delivery is in-house from concept through handover, supplemented by a curated ecosystem of independent chartered surveyors, architectural practices, specialist cladding contractors, and fire consultants that together enable the firm to deliver survey-to-EWS1 remediation under one accountable workflow.

GPF Lewis generates revenue through one-time project contracts, ranging from minor works under £1m to major schemes above £5m, delivered through direct enterprise client engagement, long-term institutional relationships, and—most significantly—public sector and housing-association framework agreements, including a recently awarded £655m seven-year Metropolitan Housing Trust fire and structural safety remediation framework. The company has no external disclosed investors, retains both co-founders in senior leadership, and operates as a founder-led SME with approximately 51–100 staff.
