From Plot to Finished House

A new build runs in a set order: site clearance, drains and foundations, then the shell, roof and windows to make it watertight, then first fix, plaster and second fix inside. Landscaping goes last. Each stage has to be signed off before the next one starts.

More Information

Access, Utilities and Site Setup

Before anything is built you need water, power and a way of getting lorries onto the plot. Utility connections often take months to arrange, so they get applied for early. A site that cannot take a concrete lorry adds cost that is better known at the start.

Warranties and Building Control Sign Off

A new house needs building control inspections at set stages and a structural warranty if you plan to sell or mortgage it. We arrange the inspections as the build goes on and hand over the paperwork at the end, so you are not chasing certificates later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build a new home in Caversham?

It depends on size, specification and how difficult the plot is. A sloping site, poor ground or long service runs all add cost before you have built anything. We price from drawings and break it down by stage so you can see where the money goes.

Do I need to own the plot before I speak to you?

No. Plenty of people ask us to look at a plot before they buy it, which is the sensible time. We can tell you what the access, ground and layout are likely to mean for the build cost, so you are not finding out after the purchase.

Can I make changes once the build has started?

Small changes to finishes are usually fine. Structural changes after foundations are poured cost real money and time. That is why we spend time on the drawings first. Anything you change gets priced in writing before we act on it.
