What People Say

"We have been working with Glencar Construction since 2022 and have found them to be an outstanding main contracting partner for the prestigious Ealing Film Studio expansion. From day one, they have demonstrated a proactive and user-friendly approach throughout the first and second stage tenders, particularly the latter stage where we had to meet a tighter client’s budget than originally expected. Site delivery has been very professionally handled as the estate has over 500 students in 5 buildings adjacent the construction project. Communication has always been clear, and timelines were met to the satisfaction of all stakeholders. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other Clients and have been particularly impressed by how they go about their business in a collaborative and non-contractual manner."

Nic Bouma

Co-Founder at Pella Real Estate Partners

"I have not seen a better build or indeed a better run project. This project will be the jewel in the crown for UK media build and I’m sure will set new standards in terms of design and delivery. It stands as a testament to the Glencar team."

David Godfrey

"Glencar’s approach to health & safety at LHR has been exemplar throughout the project, the team have gone above and beyond to maintain a safe secure environment for the project and create a culture within their business that has made it a pleasure to work with. Well done Glencar Team"
