We understand the emotional investment in your home project and it’s a privilege to be selected to realise your dream. Here are the qualities that we think make us stand out as a contractor, and why you should choose us:
not just internally but with all stakeholders in a spirit of true collaboration and open communication to focus on client’s goals.
We apply clear thinking and come up with proactive and practical solutions.
By interrogating every detail and following robust systems and processes. This instils our fine building standards so that the project is exemplary on completion and stands the test of time.
Whilst we are respectful and open to other points of view, we don’t avoid the difficult conversations. Our clients and partners trust us to be upfront, honest and to properly manage expectations.
Our enthusiasm, dedication and our thirst for continuous improvement is evident in every project.
From creating detailed tender packs to developing trade-specific Quality Assurance sheets, we leave no stone unturned. We’ve refined our processes over years of experience, surpassing industry standards. By clearly defining quality from the outset, we ensure efficiency, prevent costly rework and deliver superior results.
We can ensure excellence for every stage of your project thanks to our meticulous Construction Management System (CMS). We rigorously record, monitor and share progress with everyone involved. This leaves no room for surprises and helps us all to manage and exceed expectations.
At Hale, our team is our greatest asset – and yours. We’re an enthusiastic group that brings extensive experience, innovative thinking and unbridled dedication to every project. From our skilled crafts and trades people to our dedicated project managers, each team member plays a crucial role.

With Hale, you’re not just working with a building contractor; you’re partnering with a committed and innovative team that takes immense pride in creating lasting legacies.
Christian oversees all our operations – checking, questioning and improving to ensure success.
At the start of a project, he works closely with architects and designers to fine-tune plans, taking early opportunities to reduce complexity and solve technical challenges. As work progresses, he turns his eye to quality control, to guarantee the highest standards of construction and service.
Christian is a Chartered Construction Manager and member of The Chartered Institute of Building. Becoming chartered is a fitting tribute to his experience, passion, leadership and commitment to professionalism across all aspects of construction.
Before founding Hale, Christian worked for a boutique residential developer in Knightsbridge and a high-end Chelsea-based designer and contractor.
Christian oversees a project from the first briefing through to completion and handover. He manages the construction programme and acts as the primary contact for client, architect and site manager throughout.
Christian lives in the detail of the entire design process: working with architects and designers, interpreting the brief, translating it into design, and anticipating any issues before they arise.
During his 20-year career, Christian has performed a number of construction, design and management roles, and founded and run his own property company.
Maxine oversees our accounts, taking care of all day-to-day financial tasks such as paying sub-contractors, arranging supplies and tracking sales expenses.
Friendly and approachable, she enjoys getting to know the whole team on a project, including clients, suppliers and sub-contractors.
Maxine began her career as an office junior with a family-run glass merchants, before later moving into construction, the industry she now considers home.
Jos oversees Hale’s projects, working alongside the architect, project team and site team, including sub-contractors and specialists, to manage the entire build process.
Personable and thorough, with proven problem-solving ability, Jos ensures the smooth and successful delivery of each project.
With a degree in Architecture, Jos is able to bring his design and technical skills to the table, as well as his prior experience working for a London-based development management company where he oversaw projects from concept to handover. With 7 years’ experience in the industry, Jos has worked across a range of projects that includes listed buildings, refurbishments and new builds.
Bryan manages the commercial aspects of projects, including tendering, procurement, cash flow forecasting, and commercial reporting.
As a people person he enjoys working as part of a team to bring clients’ dreams to life. Commercially astute, he is able to use his experience, his head for numbers, and his talent for deal-making to achieve the most with any budget.
Bryan has 18 years construction industry experience under his belt, working on both residential and commercial projects: from home extensions to £25m buildings at London’s O2 arena.
Vimal’s sharp numerical skills and an eye for detail are vital as he supports our QS team with estimating, tendering, procurement, and day-to-day commercial management. With a BEng in Civil Engineering and Masters in Construction Management, he combines strong academic foundations with three years’ hands-on QS experience on high-spec residential and mixed-use projects across London.
His positivity, and natural talent for the financial complexities of construction, help him manage budgets without compromising the quality which defines our work. Vimal’s meticulous approach perfectly aligns with our value of doing things properly. Accuracy in estimating and commercial management is fundamental to every project’s success, regardless of complexity.
