The forever home

Building homes, extensions and refurbishments should be a journey, not a process. Our goal with every project is to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a home you and your family will love forever. We aim to make this experience both enjoyable, exciting and rewarding.

1) Plan

Initial Meeting

The first stage of the process is an informal meeting to discuss the outline requirements for your project. We would normally suggest visiting the site to give us an understanding of both the landscape and building we would be working with to quickly access any potential obstacles.

Your Goals

An important part of any newbuild or refurbishment is to fully understand your goals. These may be functional or aspirational, either way, knowing your 'big-picture' plans, helps us identify innovative opportunities for your project. This results in ideas that you may not have considered to further enhance the project.

Analyse Plans

From experience, we know what works on paper, don't always work out as well in the real world. We perform an in-depth analysis of the plans drawn up by your architect to ensure the end project is in line with your goals. If you don't have an architect or technical drawings, we have several firms we can recommend.

Quantity Survey

Before we lay a single brick, we will arrange a quantity survey which will outline all costs associated with your project. The quantity surveyor will also draw up all required contracts, ensuring a smooth and progressive build with no hidden surprises. This is our way of being 100% transparent with all our costs and breaking them down into segmented build costs. This also helps our clients as they can see areas of cost which, on occasions shows them where they could save money if required.

2) Build

Project Management

Throughout the project, Emma will be your dedicated project manager. With over 10 years working for both commercial and private clients, Emma’s focus is ensuring everything runs smoothly and that you are involved throughout the journey, your client liaison from start to finish. Andrew will be your operations contact on-site and will deliver weekly updates via email or whatever medium you desire to keep you fully informed throughout your project.

Specialist Trades

For both new builds, extensions and renovations, we have an extensive network of specialist tradespeople and craftsman who produce high quality, and bespoke commissions. These include; woodwork and joinery, leadwork and metalwork, roofing and stonework, glazing and ceramics as well as modern technology such as smart homes, lighting and sound system installations.

Fixtures & Fittings

Towards the end of the project comes the small touches that finish the whole project. We work closely with a number of bespoke kitchen, bathroom and furniture companies. Emma has many years of experience and will work closely with you to ensure your home is finished exactly the way you want it.

Hand Over

The start of the end; the hand over is when we present your new home/extension to you and your family. We'll take you on an in-depth walkthrough to ensure you are fully satisfied with our workmanship. We'll also demonstrate any new systems such as kitchen appliances, technology, safety features and security systems. We use automated snagging software which photographs any remedial work either us or yourself picks up, emails Andrew who then completes this work and confirms back to our clients a completion report. Emma will then meet you on-site to walk through the remedies to ensure you are then fully satisfied.

3) Inhabit

12 Month Maintenance

After moving into your new home, you’ll receive a free complimentary 12-month maintenance agreement with a 48 hour response time to resolve any issues that may arise. This service is provided by us, rather than a third-party maintenance company as we feel the best people who resolve issues, are people who are familiar with you and your property.

10 Year Warranty (new build homes only)

We work closely with the warranty company and complete a full in-depth handover so they understand all build plans and know both materials and techniques used. This helps them service any warranty issues further down the line speedily and to your satisfaction.

We provide exceptional customer service and will always strive to resolve issues quickly but will never compromise on quality. We hope to create a long term relationship with you and are never more than a phone call or email away.

Completion Pack

With a new build, extension or renovation project, there are often a whole host of documents and paperwork. We will organise all necessary paperwork into a completion pack. Such paperwork includes; planning applications, structural reports, technical drawings, schedule of work, contracts, warranties and certificates.
