New-build homes in Nottinghamshire

Covering Nottinghamshire

We cover Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop and Newark-on-Trent, and the towns around them.

Homes in the East Midlands

Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and newer estates, with stone-built villages in some areas where conservation controls apply.

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.

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.

New-build homes	Guide price

Good specification	£2,500 to £3,000 per m²
High specification	£3,000 to £3,600 per m²

How is a new-build home approved in Nottinghamshire?

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

This needs full planning permission from the council. We prepare the drawings and supporting documents, submit the application and respond to the planning officer.

What should I think about before starting?

Most lenders want a structural warranty or architect’s certificate on a new home.
Planning conditions often need discharging before work starts.

How does the project run?

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.
Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
