Points to consider
Land
The location you choose for building a new home comes with unique constraints that depend on several factors. Understanding the local planning policy is crucial for the success of your project. The local authority will require you to consider various aspects such as flood risk, road access, transport links, ecology, sustainability, and local amenities. To ensure a smooth process, our team can guide you through this complex process and address any concerns that may arise
Design
One of the main advantages of building your own home is having a blank canvas to bring your unique ideas to life. However, for many people, the thought of designing a home from scratch can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Our team will collaborate with you to create a layout that perfectly suits your lifestyle and preferences. Whether you prefer an open-plan design or cozy nooks, our experience and expertise will ensure that your home is built effectively and efficiently. With our help, you can turn your dream home into a reality.
Budget
Budget is a critical factor in any project, and it’s essential to have a clear understanding of it as early as possible. The budget will significantly impact the approach to the design. For instance, a lower budget may require simpler layouts and more modest decorations, while a higher budget can allow for more elaborate and grandiose designs.
Saving energy/thermal comfort
Climate change is leading to unpredictable weather patterns that can range from significantly warmer days to sudden rain showers, and cooler winter days with occasional snow. Maintaining a comfortable temperature inside one’s home in any weather can be a challenge but with the right specification this can be a reality. We can guide you through the process of specifying sufficient insulation and discussing the right heating and/or cooling systems for your home.

Constructing a new home is a project that can often take longer than expected, particularly if you need planning approval or encounter other unexpected obstacles. Fortunately, we’re here to help you plan every step of the process, from start to finish. Our team is dedicated to providing you with expert guidance and support, so that you can achieve your dream home without any unnecessary stress or delays.
