Covering Herefordshire

Homes in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.
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.
- Design, planning application and discharge of conditions
- Groundworks, services and drainage connections
- Superstructure, roof, windows and external finishes
What is the guide price for a new-build home in Herefordshire?
Use these ranges to budget for new-build homes; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
| New-build homes | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,000 to £2,500 per m² |

| High specification | £3,000 to £3,600 per m² |
How is a new-build home approved in Herefordshire?
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 change the price or programme?
- Utility connections (water, sewer, power) can take months to arrange, so we apply early.
- 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.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
