A new build is one of the most exciting things you can do – and one of the most complex. You're starting with a blank page, which means extraordinary creative freedom, but also a lot of decisions to get right before anyone breaks ground.
We work with homeowners and developers across Brentwood, Billericay, Shenfield, Hornchurch and the wider Essex and Kent areas on new build projects of all sizes – from single plots to small developments. And we bring the same straightforward, considered approach to all of them.
The best new builds don't just look good – they work well for the people who live in them and sit comfortably within their surroundings. That balance between individual vision and local context is something we think about carefully from the very beginning.
We'll help you make sense of your plot, develop a design that makes the most of it, and create a layout that suits how you actually want to live – rather than just ticking boxes. We also know what tends to get planning approval in Essex and what tends to attract pushback, which shapes our design thinking from day one.
New builds typically involve more detailed planning applications than extensions or conversions – more technical requirements, more scrutiny, and often more back-and-forth with the local authority.
We manage that process for you. We know the planning landscape across Brentwood, Basildon, Chelmsford and the surrounding Essex authorities well, and we prepare applications that are thorough, well-presented and realistic about what they're asking for. The goal is always a first-time approval – and a design worth approving.
From initial design development through planning, building regulations and the steps towards construction, we'll keep things clear and manageable throughout. No unnecessary jargon, no surprises.
Whether you've already got land and you're ready to start designing, or you're still figuring out whether a project is viable, the best first step is a conversation.
We'll give you an honest view of what's possible, what the process looks like, and what it's likely to involve. No commitment required.
Let’s talk about what you're thinking.
