Founder & Managing Director, TCM Building & Maintenance

Built on Craftsmanship,
Driven by Integrity

TCM Building & Maintenance was founded by Constantin Popescu, a builder with over 15 years of hands-on experience in residential and commercial construction across London and Hertfordshire.

Constantin built TCM on a simple belief: that every client deserves the same standard of work he would want for his own home. That means honest pricing, clear communication, skilled trades, and a finish that lasts.

From a single-person operation, TCM has grown into a multi-disciplinary team that includes in-house architects, structural engineers, party wall surveyors, and specialist tradespeople — giving clients a complete, coordinated service under one roof.

Today, TCM is one of the most respected building and maintenance companies in East London and Hertfordshire, with a 5.0-star Checkatrade rating and a portfolio of over 500 completed projects.

"I'm so incredibly proud of our team at TCM for being recognised as great at our job, super friendly as people, and for delivering projects that look incredibly professional."
— Constantin Popescu, Founder

Six Reasons Clients Choose Us

We know you have a choice of builders. Here is what makes TCM different — and why our clients come back to us, and refer us to their friends.

15+ Years of Proven Experience

Founded in 2009, TCM has completed over 500 projects across London and Hertfordshire. Our track record speaks for itself — from single-room refurbishments to full commercial fit-outs.

In-House Multi-Disciplinary Team

Unlike many builders who subcontract everything, our team includes in-house architects, structural engineers, party wall surveyors, and interior designers — giving you a complete, coordinated service.

Communication at Every Stage

We assign a dedicated project manager to every job. You will always know who to call, and you will always receive a prompt response. Weekly progress updates as standard.

Fully Compliant & Certified

All our work is carried out in full compliance with Building Regulations. We are Checkatrade verified, IPAF certified, and CSCS card-holding across our entire site team.

On Time & On Budget

We provide detailed, fixed-price quotations before any work begins. No vague estimates, no day-rate surprises. Our project management process is built around delivering on time.

End-to-End Project Management

From initial consultation and planning permission through to final snagging and handover, we manage every aspect of your project. You deal with one team, one point of contact.

From First Call to Final Key

Every TCM project follows the same five-stage process — designed to keep you informed, in control, and confident at every step.
