Pre-Construction Services
We know many self-builders would prefer to self-manage, but lack the expertise to do so. With one of our project management support packages, you can now confidently manage your own project reassured by having access to independent expert support every step of the way.
Our experts will get your build off to the best start by managing the design and planning process and ensuring that everything is in place before the build begins.
Pre-Start Planning
Once planning consent has been granted, your architect or designer will develop Building Regulations drawings, including construction details, schedules, and specifications, that outline how your how will be built.
While architects focus on the creative and functional aspects of your home, many lack hands-on construction experience or the commercial expertise to ensure your home will be built to the highest quality standard whilst meeting your budget constraints.
