New Build FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a new build?
Yes — all new builds require full planning permission. We can help review plans and support your application with required documentation.
Can you build on plots without previous structures?
Absolutely. We work on fresh sites, greenfield land, and garden plots — handling clearance, foundations, and new infrastructure setup.
Do you offer fixed pricing or staged costs?
We offer stage-by-stage fixed pricing. You’ll receive an estimate for each build phase — so you can budget and plan confidently.
Can you coordinate with my architect or engineer?
Yes — we regularly work with client-appointed architects and structural engineers to deliver your plans exactly as intended.
