How we work

One business from land deal to long-term hold.

Most developers hand the build to a third-party contractor and sell on completion. We control each stage ourselves, which keeps cost, programme and quality in one set of hands, and lets us decide scheme by scheme whether to sell or to hold.

Our construction arm

Access Building Contractors

Founded in 2007 and based at our Greenwich head office, ABC is principal contractor on every Lita Homes scheme and builds for housing associations, councils and private clients across London.

Why it matters to partners

Lenders and partners deal with one counterparty for development and construction. Cost plans are prepared by the team that will build them, and programme risk sits inside the group rather than with an outside contractor.
