Building a smarter, greener future

As builders, we accelerate the transition to a sustainable world by designing and delivering low-impact buildings for a smarter, greener future. This is driven entirely by our people. Together, we create a workplace where everyone can reach their potential and contribute to lasting change.

Focus on future generations

For a family business with a history spanning more than 90 years, thinking about future generations is second nature. Cordeel’s mission: By building on trust, we accelerate the transition to a sustainable world for future generations.

But how do we do that? Through continuous improvement, whether big or small, and by working smarter, faster and with reduced environmental impact. This also involves targeted innovations that make a lasting difference. We aim to lead by example and inspire others to join us in building a sustainable world for generations to come.

Focus on our people

We are thinkers and doers, designers and builders, eager starters and seasoned professionals. When we connect, great things happen.

Our core values

6 fundamental beliefs that unite us

None of us is as smart as all of us

By collaborating and pooling our individual strengths, we deliver the best solutions for our clients.

Transparency builds trust

By being open and honest about our business operations and performance, we keep our employees, clients and stakeholders engaged.

Be better every day

By challenging ourselves every day to do even better, we help our people, planet and clients thrive.

Focus to accelerate

By working faster, smarter and with clear focus, we deliver exceptional results efficiently, establishing ourselves as the go-to partner for sustainable construction.

Own the problem

By taking full responsibility for every situation, we learn and innovate. We focus on what can be done, and we find a way to do it.

Can’t is not an option

By building for the future with an open mind and a passion for innovation, we find solutions for even the toughest challenges.

Focus on our clients

We build future-proof buildings and structures for the private and public sectors. In close partnership with our clients, we actively drive the transition to a smarter, greener future. Committed to staying involved long after handover, we focus on client satisfaction and long-term value.

These enduring partnerships have resulted in a proven track record that spans the following sectors:

  • Non-residential construction: education, sports, healthcare, offices, car parks
  • Energy transition: utility structures
  • Light industrial: pharmaceuticals and medical technology, food and packaging, mechanical engineering, defence and shipbuilding
  • Processing and manufacturing (heavy industry), civil engineering and apartment buildings

 

Focus on our projects

As a design-and-build contractor, an integrated collaborative team approach comes naturally. Every successful project relies on a seamless partnership between architect, contractor and client from the drawing board onwards. During construction, we commit to innovation, use sustainable materials and run healthy, net-zero construction sites.

We work safely

Our dedicated health and safety team drives incident-free project execution. We prioritise and consistently invest in safety to keep standards high.

  • VCA-P/SCC Petrochemical certified (the highest safety standard)
  • All employees hold SCC safety qualifications
  • Subcontractors are thoroughly vetted on credentials and safety performance
  • Our goal: LTIR = 0 (zero lost-time incidents)

You get what you asked for

We work flexibly with our clients to deliver projects that meet their requirements on time and within budget, with careful quality assurance and risk control.

  • An independent QA/QC department oversees all work
  • A bespoke quality plan and risk analysis for every project
  • Rigorous test and inspection plans
  • Mandatory hold points built into the construction process for quality inspection
  • Our goal: NCR = 0 (zero defects and non-conformance at handover)

We’re on time or ahead of schedule

Our delivery speed is no coincidence. It comes from focus, in-house production, BIM, prefab and strong process management.

  • In-house engineering, production facilities and equipment service for speed and flexibility
  • Digital 3D models (BIM) accelerate the construction process, improve flexibility and reduce errors
  • Precast expertise shortens construction and completion times

A deal is a deal

Thanks to our quality, safety, process control, delivery speed and flexibility, our clients know they can fully rely on us to keep our promises.

  • We are open and transparent about operations and performance
  • We evaluate our work and conduct preliminary inspections and client- satisfaction checks at handover
  • We involve our colleagues, subcontractors and suppliers in policy development
