Your partner in delivering new homeowner happiness

As a housebuilder, your reputation depends on delivering the right product on time and to the highest standards. But your biggest risk is in the ground. 

Protect your hard-earned reputation with three generations of know-how


M. Lambe Construction — or Lambe's, as our friends call us — is a groundworks and civil engineering partner for forward-thinking housebuilders.

We believe making groundworks more transparent and predictable helps housebuilders deliver more value to their customers.

We help you eliminate risk with proactive updates, clear tenders, live site data and staged handovers.

So you can:


Feel more confident in your cost to complete

Our tenders are often used as benchmarks - because we highlight what others miss. So you have a better idea of your true costs from day one.


Keep your customers smiling

Our quality standards and record of resolving 82% of customer care issues within five days mean more happy customers. More glowing reviews.


Recover your bonds faster

Get guaranteed road adoption timelines when we liaise with highway authorities on your behalf. So you can free your team up to focus on the bigger picture.


Sleep better at night

Trust us to get the job done right. Expect straightforward, honest communication. So you’re never left guessing what we’ve done or why. With 40 years of happy clients, your sites are in the best hands.

Leave a lasting
positive impact


Your new developments can make a massive difference in the lives of local people.

We help you create sustainability and social value by:

  • Building affordable homes - with a goal of 50% of our order book from social housing by October 2025

  • Supporting local schools and businesses

  • Creating apprenticeships and job opportunities for local people

  • Helping people who have experienced homelessness return to work, with 17,700+ hours of paid employment provided so far

We hire and train local people who’ve experienced homelessness with our social impact partner, Standing Tall.

"Lots of companies talk about purpose and CSR, but Lambe's live and breathe it"

"So far, Lambe’s have hired and trained ten people from our programme - helping them build meaningful careers in construction.

It's been incredible to see how this act of faith—and Lambe’s hands-on support—has helped their new employees go from living on the streets to regaining confidence and rebuilding their lives.

They're a true partner in every sense of the word, and I'm eternally grateful for their support."

– Christy Acton, Founder and CEO, Standing Tall
