About Us

About Us

A diversified family enterprise built on foundations of trust and heritage.

Founded in Madeira in August of 1998, Irmãos Chaves began in construction, a sector that remains the structural backbone of the group. Over time, we expanded into complementary areas that share the same principles: operational discipline, financial prudence, and long-term commitment.

Today, our activities span construction and project development, agriculture and agrotourism, hospitality, healthcare services, accommodation and property management, and more.

Across sectors, we operate with one consistent philosophy: build carefully, manage responsibly, and grow sustainably
