Lando (design And Build) Limited

What Lando (design And Build) Limited does

Lando (Design And Build) Limited is a UK private limited company incorporated in May 2022, operating as a specialist design-and-build contractor for high-end residential and commercial property across prime central London and Surrey. The firm delivers a full vertically-integrated service from initial design through construction, covering new builds, conversions, basement and roof extensions, structural alterations, refurbishments and full fit-outs. Its project portfolio spans Belgravia, Chelsea, Mayfair, Bayswater, Battersea and Weybridge, and includes a 15,000 sq ft bespoke residence at St George's Hill.

The firm differentiates through technical capability on complex structural work, including the use of robotic demolition technology, and has produced premium-priced outcomes such as the 2022 Chelsea Townhouses project, which achieved a £30m gross development value at a 30% premium to local comparables. It holds integrated ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety) certifications, providing pre-qualification for institutional and regulated tenders.

The business model is project-based, serving two principal customer segments: high-net-worth private clients undertaking prime residential works, and select institutional and developer counterparties including Grosvenor and Avenfield Developments. Revenue is generated through individual design-and-build contracts rather than recurring subscription or product sales. The firm operates from a headquarters in Victoria, London, with a registered office at 11 Stanhope Gate, and was operationally scaled shortly after incorporation via the July 2022 relocation.

Direct peers

• Mount Anvil: London-focused developer and contractor specialising in high-end residential schemes across prime postcodes. Closest comparable to Lando in terms of central London luxury residential focus, design-and-build integration, and HNW/developer client base.
• Knight Build: High-end residential contractor operating in London and the Home Counties, delivering bespoke new-builds, refurbishments, and basement extensions for private clients and developers — directly overlapping Lando's core service offering.
• McLaren Construction: UK contractor with a significant high-end residential division serving London and the South East, including refurbishment and super-prime fit-out work comparable to Lando's portfolio.

Regional players

• Berkeley Group: London-focused residential developer building premium homes across prime and outer London postcodes. Comparable as a customer-segment overlap (prime London residential demand) rather than as a contractor peer.

Broad incumbents

• Laing O'Rourke: Major UK construction group with capability in complex London residential and commercial projects. Overlaps Lando on technical delivery but operates at far greater scale and with different procurement models.
• Willmott Dixon: Established UK contractor with London residential refurbishment and new-build activity. Comparable on building trades capability but focused on volume rather than bespoke luxury delivery.
• Multiplex: International contractor with a substantial London presence delivering high-rise residential and complex commercial schemes. Comparable on technical complexity in central London rather than on specialisation.
• Wates Group: UK contractor with a strong London residential and commercial presence, including luxury refurbishment work. Comparable on capability set but significantly larger and more diversified than Lando.
• Balfour Beatty: Major UK infrastructure and construction group with a London buildings division that competes for high-value commercial and residential schemes. Broad incumbent rather than direct competitor to Lando's specialist niche.
• Sir Robert McAlpine: Heritage UK contractor with deep heritage in luxury and complex London projects, including listed-building and high-end commercial/residential work. Overlaps Lando at the top end but operates across a much broader project portfolio.
