Our story
JMP Contractors & Engineers
A Tradition Of Excellence
Our company’s history goes back over 25 years, starting as a Design & Build company in Greece.
Woodisland was the first to endorse high quality timber frame building throughout Greece, Cyprus and Russia.
We have designed, manufactured and installed thousands of timber frame buildings, while our flexibility and ethos allow us to cover a wide range of buildings, from residential one off houses to large scale housing developments, apartments, hotels and restaurants.
We have since grown and shifted our focus towards other construction methods, expanded our activities throughout the United Kingdom and branded as JMP Contractors and Engineers.
Our team is the heart of the company, with its members having worked alongside for many years, achieving great results. They are incredibly talented people and real experts of the trade, who love their job and perform on the highest level. JMP has a long and interesting history.

From consulting to construction, we can cover all your needs, so you can relax while we bring your dreams to life.

Our founders
Julia Mantelian
Managing Director
After completing a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Julia started work with Hardman Structural Engineers as a graduate structural engineer in 2013. After furthering her practical knowledge of the building industry, she became a Project Engineer, while she was completing a master’s degree in Civil Engineering Structures.
After working as a Project Engineer on several high-end residential and mixed-use projects, working with both private and developer clients, she saw an opportunity to provide building services from design through to construction and hand-over.
Since then, JMP Contractors & Engineers have been established and known for their quality and ability to the heart of what their clients are looking for.
Julia is still involved in the design aspect of projects and has a hands-on role in the day-to-day running of the business.

His passion for construction and the environment together with his interest in ecological building systems, led him to be a founder of the design and build company , called Woodisland, Greece’s first ecological builders’ merchant.
Over 25 years he has designed, manufactured and installed thousands of timber frame buildings throughout Greece, Cyprus & Russia.
Due to his vast knowledge of design and construction, he became director of the company, and is today responsible for overseeing all our projects, ensuring JMP’s high standards are maintained throughout each and every project.
