New build project underway behind an existing period property
What is included

Every new build, covered

Groundworks and foundations

Site set out, dig, foundations and drainage laid to the engineer design, with the ground conditions checked rather than assumed from the plot next door.

Structure and envelope

Blockwork, timber frame, roof structure and covering, taken to watertight as quickly as the weather allows so the internal programme can start.

Services first fix

Plumbing, heating and electrical first fix run by our own trades, coordinated with the structure instead of chased into it afterwards.

Internal fit-out

Plastering, second fix, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and decoration, all part of the same contract and the same programme.

Staircases and joinery

The staircase, doors, fitted storage and any built-in furniture are drawn, made and fitted by us, which on a new build is where the house stops looking like every other new build.

Building control and handover

Inspections booked at the right stages, and a handover with the certificates, the manuals and a snagging list that gets closed out rather than forgotten.

Questions

Asked and answered

Do you build one-off houses as well as extensions?

Yes. Infill and garden plots, replacement dwellings and outbuildings around Croydon and South East London are regular work. Send the plans and the site address and we will come and look.

How long does a new build take?

A single detached house is typically nine to fifteen months from breaking ground, depending on size, ground conditions and how quickly decisions get made. The programme is written down at the start and updated as it goes.

Can you work from an architect design and engineer calculations?

That is how nearly every new build runs. We build to the approved drawings and the structural design, and we will flag anything on the drawings that is going to be a problem on site before it becomes one.

What about warranties and building control?

Building control inspections are booked at each stage as part of the job. Structural warranty providers have their own inspection regime, and we work to whichever one your lender or your sale needs.

Do you build to a fixed price?

For a new build, a priced schedule against the drawings with provisional sums clearly marked, so you know what is fixed and what is not. Changes are priced and agreed before they happen.
