Newbuilds

Would you like to build your forever home start to finish or maybe you have some land and would like to do a bespoke project. If so, we’d be happy to work with you to establish the project plan right through to the build and completion phases.

How long dose it take to build a new build house?

More Info

It will take around 6 months to build a detached 3-bedroom house that is approximately 6m by 6m in size. Plenty of factors contribute to the overall delivery of a large project like this, but assuming everything goes to plan in-line with the details of the original quotation, this is the average time to completion.

How do I get services to a new build?

More Info

Leave it with us!! We will deal with arranging all services to be correctly connected to the new property.

Can I change parts of the build during the project?

More Info

In essence yes you can. However whilst we are progressing with the project, there will be milestones met, and at these points some alterations to the project will be past the point of being easily changed without incurring larger costs than if the changes were requested prior to a milestone that will be affected by the change. 

How do payments work?

More Info

Payments for the project are spread throughout the build, and will be discussed during the quotation stages so that everyone understands what happens and when – particularly with regards to payments.

Extensions

Home extensions are a cost-efficient way to maximise the space in your home. If you have sufficient land or footprint to the building and would benefit from extra space of any kind, then you should consider an extension to your property and add value to your home in doing so.

How long will a single back extension take?

More Info

A single back extension **m by **m will take around 8 weeks start to finish. Of course like most building projects there can be inforseen cirumstances which would lead to delays, however, assuming all goes to plan this is a reasonable turnover time for you to plan for.

More Info

If it is required for heavy machinery, we can usually find a way in. This can be tricky, but we will understand the challenge once we see the site. Sometimes this can dictate what is possible in your garden (for example). With that said, there’s nothing wrong with a good bit of elbow grease and digging out manually!

Can I supply the paving slabs / grass

More Info

We are happy to work with the materials you can buy. However we have a large network fo suppliers that give us the materials at a trade price and we are able to pass on somekind of discount in the process, so it is usually cheaper to come with us.

Do you supply and fit Artificial Grass?

Yes. This is very common at the moment and we have been preparing and fitting gardens with this kind of grass for a few years now – so many benefits like not having to cut the grass, always even green, pet friendly, perfectly looking finished grass.
