Tudawe Brothers was the brainchild of the late Mr. Lawrence de S Tudawe, a Diploma Holder in Building Construction from Ceylon Technical College and his brother, the late Mr. Dionysius de S Tudawe, who had a passion for construction.
In 1942, the brothers identified the need for a sustainable domestic construction firm in Sri Lanka and established Tudawe
Brothers as a partnership.
Subsequently, it was incorporated as a limited liability company in 1947 as Tudawe Brothers Limited, under the Companies Ordinance of 1938.
The company which was established as a family business grew to become one of Sri Lanka's premier engineering construction firms, offering end-to-end engineering solutions in compliance with international quality standards.

Seven decades later, the portfolio of Tudawe Brothers presents some of the country's most challenging and high profile construction projects.
