About Us
Bramdean Construction was founded in 2007 by Russell Shellard, who brings over 40 years of hands-on experience delivering exceptional residential projects. Since then, our family-run business has evolved into one of the area's most respected specialists in high-end residential projects — trusted by homeowners, architects, and consultants alike.
Based in Haslemere and proudly serving Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire, we’ve built our reputation on quality, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.
We offer a professional, multi-trade service through our dedicated in-house team and a trusted network of local specialists — many of whom have worked with us exclusively for years.
Our Ethos
EXCELLENCE
We hold ourselves to exacting standards in every aspect of our work — from the build quality to the service you receive. Many of our projects come through referrals, a reflection of the positive experiences our clients have throughout the process. Our goal is simple: for you to love working with us, and love the result we deliver.
OUR PEOPLE
We invest heavily in our team — because we know that great people build great buildings. We’re proud to have a long-standing partnership with numerous local colleges, and many of our managers started on the tools with us before progressing to leading complex projects with authority and care. This continued investment in people ensures continuity, cultivates craftsmanship, and gives you a team that truly cares about their work.
DYNAMIC THINKING
No project unfolds exactly as planned. That’s why we take a proactive, solutions-focused approach — working closely with you to accommodate evolving designs, overcome challenges, and keep the project moving forward. Whether it’s a material change, a design refinement, or an unexpected site condition, you can rely on us to handle it calmly and competently.
LOCAL FOUNDATIONS
We are embedded in the towns and villages where we build. Our staff live locally. Our suppliers are local. Our subcontractors are local. We champion this approach to help us work faster, communicate better, and support our community. We also proudly sponsor local charities, youth programmes and sports teams — and always aim to leave a positive legacy wherever we work.
TEAMWORK
We work closely and respectfully with architects, quantity surveyors, structural engineers, interior designers and other consultants — building lasting relationships that support a seamless, enjoyable project experience for you. Many of our partnerships span multiple projects over a number of years.
