In 2003, James Whitaker left his job as a foreman at a major contractor to start something different. A building company where the founder was on every site, where craftspeople were paid fairly, and where clients were partners, not invoice numbers.
Twenty plus years later, that philosophy has not changed. Bade Construction is now one of the South East's most respected mid-sized contractors, with over 240 completed projects and a workforce of 38 directly employed tradespeople. Our daughter Priya joined as Head of Operations in 2017, bringing modern project management and digital tools into the family business.
We are large enough to handle multi-million pound commercial builds, small enough that the MD still personally signs off on every quote. That is the Bade way.
No hidden costs, no mid-build surprises. Our quotes are detailed, transparent, and fixed. What we say is what you pay.
Every site, every day. CHAS accredited, with zero RIDDOR-reportable incidents in the past five years.
Direct-employed tradespeople, ongoing training, and quality controls on every detail. Workmanship matters.
98% of our projects deliver on or before scheduled handover. We respect your timeline as much as your budget.
Lower-carbon materials, energy-efficient systems, and waste-reduction practices on every site.
Over 60% of our work is repeat clients or referrals. We build relationships, not just buildings.
