About Us

Traditional Values – Innovative Techniques

Pilbeam Construction started as a family firm of building contractors back in 1955. Since then, we’ve grown into a 40-strong team who design, build and manage multi-million pound projects across the south east.

Like our bigger competitors, we can comfortably accommodate large-scale, complex assignments across a range of sectors. We pride ourselves in providing a personal service and a collaborative, proactive approach throughout – from the Directors right through to the site managers.

We have embraced the changing world of construction and continue to do so to produce affordable, sustainable buildings to a reliable time frame.

We have a proven track-record in delivering challenging projects on time and within budget – including those in demanding live environments. A stable, loyal team and `can do’ attitude have meant successful delivery of wide-ranging contracts from £400,000 to £5 million.

Traditional Values

You’ll be kept in the loop throughout.

Our site managers keep lines of communication open at all times.

We’ll actively listen to you…

and we’ll pool brainpower and resources to find intelligent, practical solutions to problems.

If there’s an issue, you’ll know about it immediately.

Our professionally trained and experienced staff are able to anticipate problems before they affect the contract deadline or budget.

We’re serious about deadlines.

We work with you as part of the team – high quality is at the centre of everything we do.

What our clients say…

Alan Austin, Director – Austin Divall

“We have had two separate factory extensions built by Pilbeams. In both cases we needed to continue working during the construction period. Pilbeams were very proactive and helpful throughout a difficult build programme. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Can I also take this opportunity to say that it was a pleasure working with you on the extension , both you and Wayne were very professional , helpful and friendly”.

Elaine French, Vice Principle – Varndean College

“It has been a pleasure working with Pilbeam on our £3m STEM building. Their professional yet personal approach to our project was demonstrated by their commitment and attention to detail and has resulted in four spacious new science laboratories, a large prep room and six dedicated maths classrooms, enabling the College to expand our STEM provision and provide much needed work and meeting spaces for the curriculum teams”.

Bridget McGee – Project Manager – Brighton & Sussex NHS Foundation Trust

“Just to let you know that the X Ray room and the dental OPG passed all tests today and will be going into use on Monday morning. The staff are extremely happy, and I would like to thank you all for your hard work in delivering this first key delivery point on time and to a high standard. You have made some radiographers very happy!”

Austin Fews, Associate, NVB Architects

“From an early appointment the entire contract was approached with professionalism and a clear understanding of the requirements and timescales involved in the project. On-site requests for changes were handled with speed and a ‘can do’ attitude from all involved, enabling the project to be handed over in good time to a very happy client. We would definitely consider Pilbeam again on similar contracts and have no hesitation in recommending them to others”.

Tim Primrose, Project Manager, East Sussex NHS Foundation Trust

“The project was completed to a good standard. Patients, Visitors and Staff feel it is a much improved environment. The Main Entrance to an acute hospital was always going to be a difficult area to work in but Pilbeam Construction managed all aspects particularly well. If any problem or issue arose then it was communicated and dealt with quickly. I wouldn’t hesitate to include them on a tender to use them again”.

Laura Jarman: Hampshire County Council

“Pilbeam understood the complexities and coordination required with working alongside a separate exhibition contractor team during phases of the work and the need to meet deadlines.”
