Planning Permissions & Building Regulations
We’ll guide you through the planning process from start to finish, working with trusted local architects to give your project the best chance of approval.
You may need planning permission if:
- You’re building on open land or replacing an existing property
- The site is within a conservation area or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- Your proposal doesn’t meet permitted development criteria
We’ll help manage your planning application and ensure all works comply with building regulations, covering:
- Structural safety
- Thermal efficiency
- Fire safety
- Drainage, electrics and ventilation
All of our timber frame homes meet or exceed current regulations for insulation, airtightness and energy performance.
What affects the cost of a New Build?
Every new build is unique, and your final quote will depend on a range of factors including:

- Architectural style and design complexity
- Site conditions and accessibility
- Materials, insulation, and heating systems
- Interior fit-out — kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, lighting
- Professional fees — design, planning, structural engineering

- Construction method — timber frame or masonry
We’ll always provide a clear, detailed quote upfront — no surprises or hidden extras.
