What do you get with a new-build home?

We can take a plot from feasibility through planning, detailed design, building regulations, construction and handover, or build to a design and planning permission you already have. The structure can be traditional masonry or timber frame, and we work to the energy and ventilation rules that apply to new homes in each nation.

How much should I budget for a new-build home?

What new-build homes typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.

Good specification	£2,500 to £3,000 per m²

What approvals does a new-build home need in England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

This needs full planning permission from the council.

What should Alfreton homeowners check first?

Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
Self-builders can usually reclaim VAT on certain materials through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme where they buy them directly.
