Planning and Design
The journey begins with the vision for your new home. Whether you have a pre-existing design in mind or require assistance from architects, we’ll work collaboratively to ensure your dream home becomes a reality. We can guide you through the planning permission process and ensure your new build adheres to all building regulations.
Groundwork and Foundations
Once the plans are finalised and approved, the construction phase commences. Our skilled team will begin by preparing the building site, which involves groundwork such as excavations and levelling. We then lay the foundations, ensuring a solid and secure base for your new home.
Brickwork and Structural Works
With the foundations in place, the construction of the walls commences. Our expert bricklayers will meticulously build the external and internal walls, adhering to the highest building standards. This stage also involves the installation of the roof structure, beams, and any other crucial structural elements.
Building Envelope and Insulation
Once the main structure is complete, we focus on creating a weatherproof and energy-efficient building envelope. This includes installing windows, doors, external cladding, and a high-performance insulation system.
Internal Works and Services
The focus then shifts to the interior of your new home. It will be fitted with all the essential services, including plumbing, heating, electrical wiring, and ventilation systems. This stage also encompasses the first fix of plasterboard, creating a blank canvas for the next phase.
Second Fix and Finishing Touches
With the essential services in place it’s time for the exciting second fix stage. This involves installing internal doors, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and all the features that bring your home to life. We’ll work closely with you to ensure every detail meets your specifications.
Inspections and Handover
Before you can move in, your new home will undergo a series of rigorous inspections to ensure it complies with all building regulations and safety standards. Once everything is approved, it’s finally time for the handover! We’ll provide you with a comprehensive overview of your new home, including operating manuals for all systems.
