About Us

Irmãos Chaves operates with a diversified portfolio while maintaining the values and decision-making structure of a family enterprise.

Founded in Madeira, Irmãos Chaves began as a tourism and construction company, and gradually evolved into a diversified business group. Construction remains the structural foundation of the organization, shaping the discipline and operational standards applied across all activities.

Over time, the group expanded into complementary sectors including hospitality, agriculture, healthcare, and property management. Each area reflects the same principles that guided the company from the beginning: responsibility, technical rigor, and long-term commitment.
