LAMABUILD

What LAMABUILD does

Lamabuild Ltd is a London-based, family-run residential construction company founded in 2010 by Luis and Margarita Alves. The firm delivers high-specification residential refurbishments, extensions, loft conversions, kitchen and bathroom renovations, sash window restoration, and sustainable builds across London neighbourhoods ranging from Ealing and Hampstead to Dulwich and Kensington. Its core technical differentiation centres on sustainable construction practices, including FSC-certified timber, low-VOC finishes, breathable lime and clay plasters, natural insulation, and specialist expertise in Naturbo radiant wall heating systems and Clayworks natural plaster applications. Lamabuild completed the first UK project to integrate heated clay panels using a fully clay-based wall system, establishing a niche technical credential in the heritage and sustainable retrofit segment.

The company operates a project-based business model, providing fixed-price itemised quotations following site surveys, with staged or milestone-based payments throughout construction. It is a private limited company (Company No. 7148673), registered in England, with no external investors or parent company identified. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and reputation-driven: direct engagement with London homeowners, an initial consultation and site visit process, a transparent five-stage workflow, and reliance on word-of-mouth referrals and repeat clients. The firm holds Federation of Master Builders, Considerate Constructors Scheme, Green Small Business, and London Living Wage Employer accreditations, and has set 2030 sustainability targets covering 90% low-carbon materials and zero-waste site operations. Operations remain geographically concentrated within London, with headquarters at Arch 140 Macfarlane Road near Shepherd's Bush.
