What’s Included in Our New Build Service

We take responsibility for all external and structural stages of new home construction. Our team is often involved from early site enabling through to brick, blockwork and roof, coordinating the entire workflow before internal trades begin.

Services We Provide:

Site enabling & clearance
Demolition
Excavation and substructure groundwork
Drainage system installation
Retaining walls and slope stabilisation
Concrete & strip foundations
Brick and block superstructure
ICFS (Insulated Concrete Formwork Systems)
Building control liaison and inspection scheduling

All works are performed in accordance with current building regulations, and RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) are issued through HS Direct.

Build Smarter with a Single Contractor

Many clients choose us to streamline their build process. By combining our groundwork, drainage, and structural expertise under one roof, you eliminate delays caused by scheduling multiple subcontractors.

One point of contact
One programme of works
One accountable contractor

This approach minimises downtime, reduces budget risk, and ensures your project progresses without gaps in responsibility.

Types of Projects We Support

We work with private developers, small housing consortia, and property investors to deliver structurally complete homes ready for internal trades.

Project sizes typically include:

Single dwelling builds
Multi-unit developments (2-100 homes)
Self-build schemes
Infill developments or land conversions

We do not typically support small domestic extensions or renovations unless part of a full site development.

Built to Last, Guaranteed

All workmanship is covered by a one-year guarantee, and the builders we work with are Federation of Master Builders (FMB) vetted. Where required, we can offer insurance-backed warranties.

We also work closely with your chosen architect or planning consultant, or can refer you to professionals we’ve successfully partnered with on previous sites.

Kent: Maidstone, Tonbridge, Dartford, Tunbridge Wells
Surrey: Oxted, Reigate, Croydon

Toolbox talks and site inductions

Public liability insurance in place

Your project will be managed by a team that takes compliance seriously — with documentation ready for your lender, architect, or planning officer when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle internal works like electrics and plastering?

No — we complete the build up to the internal stage. This includes structural, external, and groundwork elements. You’ll then bring in your internal fit-out team.

Can I use my own tradespeople for brickwork or frames?

We prefer to manage the full external build to ensure continuity and compliance, but we’re happy to coordinate with pre-agreed subcontractors if required.

How long does a new build take?

Every project varies. A single dwelling may take 10–16 weeks to reach internal-ready stage. We’ll provide a schedule of works as part of your quote.

Do you arrange building control?

Yes – we liaise with building control inspectors at all critical stages and ensure documentation is in order.

What structural systems can you build?

We support block & brick, timber frames, SIPs, ICFS, and steel frames – depending on the design and engineer’s specification.
