Covering Amersham
We work in Amersham (HP7) and the places around it, including Beaconsfield, High Wycombe and Rickmansworth.
Homes in the South East
The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.
What is 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.
- Design, planning application and discharge of conditions
- Building regulations design and warranty liaison
- Groundworks, services and drainage connections
What will a new-build home cost?
What new-build homes typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.
| New-build homes | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,000 to £2,500 per m² |
| Good specification | £2,500 to £3,000 per m² |
| High specification | £3,000 to £3,600 per m² |
Do you need permission for a new-build home in Amersham?
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 can affect a new-build home?
- Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
- Self-builders can usually reclaim VAT on certain materials through HMRC’s DIY housebuilders scheme where they buy them directly.
From first call to completion
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
