Our Process
Every new build project follows the same 8-12 step process. Here's what to expect from your free site visit to your 12-month aftercare check.
01Free site visit & consultation
James visits your the build property to scope the work, discuss options, and assess constraints — listed status, party walls, ground conditions. No charge, no obligation.
02Fixed-price itemised quote
You receive a fully itemised quote — materials, labour, waste removal, sign-off fees all broken down. What we quote is what you pay.
03Scheduling & preparation
We agree start dates and working hours, order materials, arrange skips and scaffolding where needed, and protect your home with dust sheets and floor coverings.
04your project works begin
The crew carries out the work to the agreed spec. Daily tidy-ups and protected access routes — your home stays liveable.
05Structural & building control sign-off
Where the work is structural, Building Control inspects at the required stages and you receive full certification on completion.
06Quality check with James
James walks the finished work with you. Any snags are dealt with immediately — we only sign off when you are fully satisfied.
07Handover & documentation
You get certificates, warranties and any FENSA/Building Control paperwork, plus guidance on caring for the new work.
08Aftercare
If anything needs attention later, we come back. Our reputation in Bath is built on long-term relationships, not one-off jobs.
Materials & Systems We Use for new build
We only use BBA-certified systems from leading UK and European manufacturers. Every installation carries a manufacturer warranty as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our new build service.
How much does a new build home cost in Bath?
New build costs in Bath vary widely depending on size, finish level, site conditions, and groundworks complexity. We give you a fixed-price quote after a free site visit, so you know the exact cost before any work starts. No day rates, no open-ended estimates.
How long does a new build take in Bath?
A single new build home in Bath typically takes 6-9 months from groundwork start to handover. Plot preparation and planning permission typically add 3-6 months on top of that. We give you a detailed build programme at quote stage.
Do you handle planning permission for Bath new builds?
Yes — full planning management is included in every fixed-price quote. Pre-applications, full drawings, structural calcs, listed-building consent, building regs. All managed in-house by James, with full conservation-officer liaison for Bath's conservation areas.
Do you install RSJs (steel beams) in Bath?
Yes — RSJ/steel beam installation is a core part of our structural work. We work with structural engineers, coordinate the building inspector visit, and sign off the work for building regulations. Common projects include wall removals, open-plan conversions, and load-bearing wall removals.
Can you convert a basement in Bath?
Yes — basement and cellar conversions are part of our structural work. Tank installation, insulation, drainage, electrical, plastering, decoration. Especially common in central Bath's Georgian and Victorian terraces where extending up or out isn't an option.
Can you convert a garage in Bath?
Yes — garage conversions are a fast, cost-effective way to add living space. We work on integral garages, attached garages, and detached garages across Bath and BANES. Typically 4-6 weeks from start to handover.
What about listed-building new builds in Bath?
Listed-building new build work is uncommon but we do sympathetic new builds in conservation areas. Conservation-officer liaison, Bath stone, lime mortar, traditional detailing. We work in Bathampton, Batheaston, Widcombe, and all Bath conservation areas.
Are you insured and qualified for new build work in Bath?
£10M+ public liability (AXA-verified). CSCS cardholders, City & Guilds / NVQ qualified. James is MCIOB chartered through the Chartered Institute of Building. All documentation on request.
