Our Story

Built by Developers, for Developers

Construction Capital was founded in 2012 by James Richardson, a former property developer who experienced first-hand the challenges of securing competitive development finance. Too often, developers were left navigating a fragmented lending market, losing valuable time and settling for suboptimal terms.

We set out to change that. By building deep relationships with specialist lenders across the UK, we created a brokerage that genuinely understands the development process from site acquisition through to exit. Our team combines property development experience with financial expertise, allowing us to structure facilities that work for both developer and lender.

Over the past decade, we have arranged more than £300 million in development finance facilities, funding hundreds of residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes. Our Ealing office gives us particular expertise in West London, where we have funded projects in every postcode across the borough.

Today, our panel of over 100 lenders includes high street banks, challenger banks, specialist development lenders, family offices, and private credit funds. This breadth of access means we can find the right solution for every project, regardless of size, complexity, or developer experience.

Local Expertise

Ealing Market Specialists

The London Borough of Ealing is one of West London's most exciting development markets. With three Elizabeth Line stations now operational, property values have seen significant uplift across the borough, creating compelling opportunities for developers.

Our team has funded projects in every major area of the borough, from premium W5 schemes near Ealing Broadway to large-scale regeneration projects in Southall and high-density developments in North Acton. We understand the local planning landscape, conservation area constraints, and the nuances that affect scheme viability.

This local expertise translates into better outcomes for our clients. We know which lenders are comfortable with Ealing projects, which valuers understand the market, and which solicitors can complete on time. This knowledge saves you time and money.
