About OLF Construction

A Legacy of Property Excellence

We aren’t just builders; we are a team with property in our DNA. Founded by Oliver Lane Fox, a Chartered Surveyor with over 30 years of personal experience, OLF is part of a family tradition that has been developing, designing, and managing UK residential property for over 80 years.

We have built our reputation on a simple promise: delivering the highest level of expertise and service to private clients. Whether we are working on a landmark Chelsea townhouse or a sensitive Cotswold barn conversion, we bring a level of professional rigour that is rare in the construction industry.

Why Our Clients Trust Us

A high proportion of our work comes from repeat business. Our clients value our discretion, our competitive pricing, and our absolute attention to detail. We believe the best work happens when a project is ordered and controlled, which is why we offer:

  • Director-Led Oversight: We appoint a Company Director to every single project we undertake, ensuring a personal service from start to finish.
  • Transparent Systems: We have spent 25 years challenging the "hidden margins" of the building trade. Our bespoke management contracting model offers complete transparency and value for money.
  • Elite Craftsmanship: We rely on a hand-picked team of craftsmen, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, supplemented by our own successful apprenticeship scheme.

From London Terraces to Country Estates

Our portfolio is as diverse as the clients we serve. We have the local knowledge required to navigate complex permissions and regulations in both urban and rural settings. Notable projects include:

Innovation in Complex Environments

We relish a challenge. Our team has successfully delivered innovative solutions where others might hesitate, such as installing cantilevered staircases with integral underfloor heating, constructing full basements with access through a single window, and using 10-story access towers without direct fixings to the façade.

"Our first and most important responsibility is the safety and welfare of our sites. We are proud to hold a Gold Award from the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) for our commitment to the public, our workforce, and the environment."

International Reach

While our roots are firmly in London and the UK countryside, our expertise knows no borders. Led by Senior Director Mick Barnett, our Monaco-based arm provides project management services across Europe, applying our transparent systems to help clients navigate the complexities of foreign jurisdictions and international trades.
