Since 1997, EPM Developments has grown from a trusted local service provider into a dynamic property development company with a reputation for quality, reliability, and forward-thinking execution. Rooted in family values and strengthened by hands-on industry expertise, we continue to evolve through building homes, communities, and long-term partnerships across the South East.
EPM Developments was founded in 1997 by Dean Davies and his father Phil Davies, with a hands-on approach to building a dependable and skilled team. Initially focused on providing maintenance and support services to high-profile film and television studios, the company quickly developed a reputation for being efficient, adaptable, and highly capable under pressure. During their expansion, Dean’s cousin Ryan King joined the EPM team, further strengthening the family values and nature of the company. These early projects provided the team with the skills to deliver consistently, even in demanding, fast-paced environments.
This strong foundation in practical problem-solving and client service shaped the ethos that still drives the business today.
As the company grew, so did the demand for EPM’s services. Local authorities and public sector organisations began to rely on EPM for property maintenance, refurbishments, and specialist accessibility adaptations. From housing stock repairs to sports centre upgrades, swimming pool improvements, and office maintenance, the team delivered projects that improved everyday environments for communities across the region.
This expansion laid the groundwork for more structured and strategic project delivery across larger property portfolios.
In response to client needs, EPM developed a dedicated drainage division to handle emergency and preventative drainage work. The investment in high-pressure jetting and CCTV inspection equipment enabled the team to offer 24/7 callout support which solidifying its reputation for responsiveness and reliability. What began as a value-add service quickly evolved into an integral part of EPM’s wider operations.
It marked a key moment in EPM’s journey from maintenance-focused to multi-service provider.
Leveraging its experience in maintenance and construction, EPM moved into residential property development, identifying opportunities to convert underutilised houses into modern self-contained flats. With each successful conversion came deeper knowledge of planning, construction, and tenant needs, eventually leading to the formation of a dedicated management arm to oversee lettings and ongoing support.
This transition marked EPM’s emergence as a full-cycle development business.
Now operating as a complete development and construction company, EPM Developments delivers residential and commercial projects across Hertfordshire and beyond. Still rooted in family values as more relatives join the team, the company brings together traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking design and execution. Whether building new homes, managing properties, or refurbishing commercial spaces, EPM Developments remains committed to delivering quality, care, and community value.
From blueprint to handover and beyond, EPM continues to evolve—without losing sight of its origins.
