Our office was set up in 1966 by Kostas Vlassis, Civil Engineer of NTUA (National Technical University of Athens) and Nikos Kontostanos, Civil Engineer of NTUA, with the aim of undertaking design and construction projects in the private sector.
In 1989, Errikos Theodotos, Civil Engineer, joined our office, and the initial corporate form changed into Vlassis – Kontostanos – Theodotos GP, until his untimely passing.
In 2014, our company was renamed CANONAS LTD, and Vassilis Kavvadias, Civil Engineer, as well as Antonella Vlassi, Production and Management Engineer, were added to the partnership.
The registered office of our company is at 16 Gr. Marasli, in Corfu centre, where we have been housed in our own offices since 1999.
During all these decades of our activity, we have undertaken design, licensing and construction of more than 150 techno-economic projects, focusing, during the last 20 years, on construction of high-end luxury homes and restoration of significant historic listed buildings in the prefecture of Corfu, such as Curcumelli estate at Afra and seaside estate of the Theotokis Family, in Krevatsoula Bay, in Dassia. Moreover, we have successfully completed many projects of apartment buildings, office buildings, business premises and tourist accommodation establishments.
The primary goal of our professional activity has always been to set up a construction company which would deliver premium quality projects, applying current trends in design and construction in a sensitive and respectful way to the island’s local tradition.
Using a holistic approach through different specialties of engineers and professionals that form our staff as well as through our network of external partners, CANONAS can undertake high standard projects and take care of every stage, starting from the conception of an idea until its completion.
