Introduction to Zebra

"Quality, trust, transparency and dedication"

Zebra was born in early 2013 after Jamie Menzies and Andrew Kennedy saw the need for a South-West London based construction and property development company which delivered a high-quality service. 

With both having prior experience in the property world it was a good fit. Jamie working in property strategy for PwC / Arcadis and Andrew working as a chartered surveyor for a company that is now JLL. 

Both founders followed their passions and gained experience in residential construction projects in London. Jamie having done two personal projects and Andrew having been involved in several developments of his own. This passion and experience have provided Zebra with an understanding of the complexities of the London construction market to deliver a superior service which has led to long-lasting relationships with their clients. 

Almost 10 years later Zebra has been through quite a journey. Jamie and Andrew have grown the business significantly whilst keeping true to their founding values. Quality, trust, transparency and dedication is woven into every member of staff associated with Zebra and is reflected by its portfolio. 

Zebra has developed from operating around a kitchen table with a handful of tradesmen to an award-winning business which has offices in London and Edinburgh, dedicated full time project managers for each project and well in excess of 100 skilled tradesmen via a network of specialist contractors to guarantee delivery of client requirements and standards.

Zebra’s focus remains residential construction and conversions of homes but has broadened its activities and now carries out developments for investors and joint ventures with other partners. 

Zebra has a vision to become the foremost construction business in South-West London and beyond, known for its quality and customer centricity whilst building long-lasting relationships forged by the best experience offered in the construction market. 

Joint Ventures

Zebra Property Group is in the unique position of having design, build, and developer capabilities under the same roof.

With a depth of experience and knowledge in the residential sector and a proven track record of forging joint ventures, Zebra are in the perfect position to realise a development opportunity, whether it be your property or a property bought in partnership.

With a proven track record of successful joint ventures in both London and Edinburgh, Zebra combine external finance with the use of a dedicated, expert in house team to allow value maximisation and creation.

If the property is already owned by you, no finance is required; Zebra will take the opportunity through planning at their own risk, and then carry out the construction element of the project at their own cost before reclaiming these costs when the property is sold. This approach means there is no risk or work required from you.

Small Projects

Renovate & Repair

Zebra Renovate and Repair was formed in 2020 with a focus on planned smaller projects (e.g. bathrooms, kitchens or decorating) or planned and reactive repairs (leaking roofs, boiler replacements).

ZRR maintains the same professionalism as Zebra as a whole but we are designed to be more agile and quicker to react. No matter the size of the project, each is given the same level of care with a focus on always delivering a high-quality finish for clients.

Project Management

Zebra’s experience combined with the tools and techniques they use allows for effective and efficient running of projects. They coordinate their different teams, contractors and use their professional network to ensure a smooth project with managed timelines and costs.

Zebra’s expertise and knowledge allows them to input and suggest ways to improve projects whilst ensuring that the project is delivered on time and to budget with a high-quality finish every property deserves.

Post-construction

During the post-construction stage, Zebra ensures the final details are meticulously checked before the building is entirely handed over to the client and ready for occupancy. Significant emphasis is made on final inspections, completion of snagging, training for the client, and more.

Zebra’s ethos is that maximum success cannot be achieved until the final two percent of the project is complete.

Construction

Zebra offers construction services across both the residential and commercial sectors in London and Edinburgh working with homeowners, developers, investors, and businesses alike.

Whether it be a full house refurbishment with a loft conversion and side return, a new build block of flats, commercial fit out or basement excavation, Zebra’s team is capable of turning your vision into a reality.

Our highly skilled and ambitious team approach, each individual project with meticulous attention to detail meaning we can deliver exceptional results for our clients.

The Zebra team can work with you from project inception right through to the provision of final drawings for construction. Using their expert knowledge and experience in the pre-construction phase, Zebra help guide you
throughout the process, ensuring delivery of a breath-taking project that has been crafted and constructed to the very last detail.
