Founded in 1930 by Edlef Jensen, the construction company Edlef Jensen GmbH has been active on the North Sea island of Sylt since the 1970s. The construction specialists basically do everything: from concrete and reinforced concrete work, bricklaying and carpentry work to renovations for private, commercial and public clients. Just a few years ago, the Nordic company’s focus was on new builds, but now a third of its orders are for renovations of existing buildings. As almost all of the Frisian houses are listed or protected, Edlef Jensen has specialized in retrofitting basements. With up to three levels, which are used as a parking garage and swimming pool, the construction company builds basements in the mostly luxurious vacation homes.
