New builds in Kent
We build new homes across Kent from foundations to handover — groundworks, frame (timber or block), roof, weather-tight envelope, first-fix services, second-fix joinery, decoration and external landscaping. Domestic-quality finish from a small directly-employed team, not a volume housebuilder spec.
Most new-build projects in Kent involve close coordination with the planning authority (often Tunbridge Wells, Ashford or Sevenoaks for our patch) plus building control, structural engineer and SAP assessor. We coordinate all of them as part of one contract.
Typical Kent new-build: 9–14 months from groundworks to handover for a single detached home, depending on size, specification and weather windows.
FAQs
New Builds — frequently asked
Do you build to Passivhaus or AECB standards?
Yes — several recent projects have targeted EnerPHit retrofit, AECB Silver and full Passivhaus. We'll quote against your preferred standard with the right design partners.
Can you handle the plot purchase and planning gain?
Plot assessment and pre-application planning yes; we don't act as land agents but we work alongside local planning consultants where outline consent is needed.
What's the typical build cost for a one-off new build?
£2,400–£3,200 per m² for a quality timber-frame finish (2026 prices); £3,200–£4,500+ for masonry with high-spec joinery and finishes.
How long does a single-plot new build take?
12–18 months on site from groundworks to handover, depending on size and finish. Add 4–8 months for design and planning before that.
Do you provide structural warranties?
Yes — Premier Guarantee or LABC Warranty 10-year cover is standard. We coordinate the inspections and snag list as part of handover.
Can you build on a slope?
Yes — sloped sites need engineered retaining and stepped foundations but are well within our scope. We've completed builds with 3m+ level changes.
