BAM Contractors (formerly Ascon Contractors) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal BAM Group of the Netherlands. BAM Contractors covers the entire spectrum of construction in Ireland. Its subsidiary operating companies are:

A strategic goal for BAM, as set out in its Strategic Agenda 2007-2009, is to strengthen the BAM brand across Europe. While challenging, re-branding provides synergies and opportunities to add value to the type and scale of projects that we undertake.

BAM PPP and BAM Rail already operate successfully in Ireland. We have undertaken 3 major PPP Projects and have successfully delivered rail projects for the RPA.

Royal BAM Group has a turnover in excess of €8 billion (2008) and is ranked in the Top 15 in the European Construction Ratings.
