Homes in Ayrshire

Scottish homes range from city tenements and sandstone terraces to bungalows and modern estates, and the building warrant process shapes the programme for every project.

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.

  • Building regulations design and warranty liaison
  • Groundworks, services and drainage connections
  • Superstructure, roof, windows and external finishes

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 homesGuide 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 Scotland?

In Scotland the key step is the building warrant, which must be granted before work begins. Planning permission is decided separately by the council, and work on shared walls is handled under your title deeds rather than a party wall act.

This needs planning permission and a building warrant from your council in Scotland before work starts.

What should I think about before starting?

  • 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.

What are the steps?

  1. Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
  2. Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
  3. Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
  4. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
