Homes in Glasgow
In Scotland many families extend bungalows and semis, while tenement flats bring shared ownership of roofs and walls that needs agreeing early.
What goes into 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.
- Building warrant application and completion certificate
- Superstructure, roof, windows and external finishes
- Full internal fit-out and landscaping
How much should I budget for a new-build home?
Typical ranges for new-build homes. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| 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 |
Planning and building rules in Glasgow
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision. The Party Wall etc. Act does not apply in Scotland; shared walls are governed by title deeds and the law of the tenement where relevant.
This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts. We prepare both applications.
What can affect a new-build home?
- Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
- Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
