Homes in Dyfed

Across Wales you find valley terraces, coastal towns, rural stone houses and newer estates, so access, slopes and local materials all feature in the design.

What does a new-build home involve?

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?

Guide prices for new-build homes, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.

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

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

In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.

This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.

What should I think about before starting?

Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
