Service Overview

## House Building —The Brief, In Plain English.

### What It Is
Full new build construction — single dwellings on infill plots, replacement dwellings, self-build family homes and small developer schemes of 2–4 units. We deliver from groundworks (foundations, drainage, slab) through superstructure (brick-and-block or timber frame), roof, weathering envelope, MEP first fix, plaster, second fix, kitchen, bathrooms, decoration and external works — to a habitable, signed-off, warranty-backed handover.

### Who It&#x27;s For
Self-builders with a plot and planning consent, families building a one-off forever home, landowners with infill or garden-plot opportunities across Lancashire and Merseyside, and small developers building 2–4 unit schemes. Suitable equally for traditional masonry construction and timber-frame package routes.

### When You Need It
Engage us at design stage if you can. Builder input during architect design saves money — buildability, sequencing, sensible spec choices and value-engineering happen best while the drawings are still in pencil. We&#x27;re equally happy to come in at tender stage against fully designed drawings.

### Why It Matters
A new build is the largest construction project most people ever commission. Programme overruns, spec drift and &#x27;final account&#x27; surprises are the three reasons self-builds get a bad name — and all three are downstream of a quote that wasn&#x27;t itemised properly or a builder who isn&#x27;t on site every day. We solve both.

What Happens If You Wait

## The Cost OfDoing Nothing.
New builds go wrong on programme and on budget — usually both. The pattern is consistent: a thin quote that leaves out the awkward bits, a main contractor who&#x27;s only on site twice a week, and a chain of subcontractors with no shared programme. By month four the homeowner has lost control of the build.

###  Risks Of Ignoring It

- →Sub-zero starts on raft foundations in winter — concrete compromised, programme blown.
- →Roof on before MEP first-fix coordination — services chased into structural elements that should have been sleeved.
- →Render applied to green blockwork — cracking and crazing inside the first freeze-thaw cycle.
- →Structural warranty (LABC, Premier, NHBC) refused at completion — house effectively unmortgageable.
- →Drainage build-over agreement missed — sewer adoption objection blocks completion certificate.

### Common Mistakes Customers Make

- ×Engaging a builder without checking their last three sites — references that aren&#x27;t site visits aren&#x27;t references.
- ×Accepting a quote without a written programme — without dates, there&#x27;s nothing to hold anyone to.
- ×Letting the architect specify everything down to door handles — fine for paper, expensive in practice.
- ×Underestimating external works — drives, fencing, landscaping and turfing are routinely 8–12% of the total cost.
- ×Skipping the structural warranty to save £2,000 — and discovering at sale that the buyer&#x27;s lender requires one.

Our Process

## First Call ToFinal Sign-Off.

01

### Fast Response
Tell us about the plot, the drawings and the timescale. Fast callback — usually within a day or two with availability and a frank initial view.

02

### Pre-Construction Survey
Site visit, drawings review, ground conditions assessment, services check, planning conditions review. Buildability and value-engineering feedback before contract.

03

### Fixed Quote &amp; Programme
Itemised tender against the drawings — substructure, superstructure, roof, MEP, finishes, externals, warranty, building control. Written programme with milestone dates.

04

### Build &amp; Handover
Site set up, build programmed to milestone dates, snagged, signed off by building control, warranty issued, keys handed over. Aftercare pack with all certificates.

Why It&#x27;s Worth It

## What YouActually Get.

### Single Trades-Led Lead
Ryan on site every working day from groundworks to handover — not just for the deposit visit and the snag walk.

### Programme You Can Hold Us To
Written programme with milestone dates: weathertight, plaster-out, kitchen-in, handover. We hit them.

### Structural Warranty On Request
10-year structural warranty via LABC, Premier or equivalent — arranged through the appropriate provider when the project requires it.

### Value-Engineered, Not Cheapened
We&#x27;ll tell you where spec is over-engineered for the budget and where it&#x27;s worth paying more. Honest, in writing, at quote stage.

### Coordinated MEP First-Fix
Plumbing, electrics, heating and data first-fix sequenced before plaster — no chasing into structural elements after the fact.

### Full Handover Pack
Building control completion, structural warranty, electrical certificate, gas safety, glazing thermal compliance, drainage as-built — handed over on day of leaving.

 Full Service Area Map 

### Substructure &amp; Groundworks
Most new build plots in Lancashire and Merseyside sit on either glacial till (boulder clay) or estuarine sand — both demand careful foundation design. We deliver trench-fill, raft or piled foundations to the structural engineer&#x27;s spec, with full muck-away, blinding, DPM, insulation and concrete slab as required. Drainage installed and pressure-tested before slab cast. Build-over agreements with United Utilities handled as standard.

### Superstructure — Masonry &amp; Timber Frame
Traditional cavity masonry construction (inner blockwork, full-fill or partial-fill insulation, brick or render outer leaf) is our default for one-off houses — proven, durable, easy to value-engineer. We also deliver timber-frame kit erection where the client has selected a package supplier (Scotframe, Frame Homes UK or equivalent). Both routes get the same level of detailing at junctions, openings and abutments.

### Roof, Envelope &amp; Weathering
Trussed-rafter or cut-and-pitch roof construction to the engineer&#x27;s design, with cold-roof or warm-roof build-ups depending on whether the loft is habitable. Slate, tile or single-ply membrane coverings as specified. All flashings in lead Code 4 minimum — never mastic. Eaves, verge and ridge details executed to BS 5534. Weathertight inside weeks, not months.

### MEP First-Fix &amp; Renewables
Plumbing, electrics, heating, ventilation and data first-fix sequenced and coordinated before plaster. Air-source heat pump installation, underfloor heating, MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) and PV-ready electrical infrastructure available as standard options — increasingly demanded by buyers and by Future Homes Standard compliance.

### Warranty, Building Control &amp; Handover
Where a 10-year structural warranty is required (mortgageable new build), we work with LABC, Premier or equivalent providers to arrange it. Building control sign-off is handled via a private building control firm. Ryan will also return to fix any workmanship issue within 5 years of completion.

Questions

## StraightAnswers.
Cost, timeline, guarantees, availability — the questions everyone asks, answered before you call.

Ask Yours 

### How much does a new build house cost in Lancashire?
+Mid-spec single-plot new build construction in our region typically runs £1,800–£2,400 per m² for traditional masonry; timber-frame kit erection runs £1,600–£2,000 per m² (excluding the kit cost). A 150m² four-bedroom detached house typically comes in £270,000–£360,000 build cost — exclusive of land, plot prep, professional fees and external works.

### How long does a new build take?
+A typical 150m² four-bedroom detached house runs 8–11 months on site from groundworks to handover. Smaller dwellings and bungalows run 6–8 months. Larger or more complex builds 12–14 months. We provide a written milestone programme with every fixed-price quote.

### Do you handle architect, structural engineer and building control?
+Ryan doesn&#x27;t draw architectural plans himself and doesn&#x27;t run planning applications — those sit with the recommended architect. Structural calcs come from a recommended engineer. Building control sign-off is handled by a private building control firm. Ryan coordinates all trades and runs the build on site.

### What about the structural warranty?
+For mortgageable new builds, a 10-year structural warranty (LABC, Premier, NHBC or equivalent) is required by mainstream lenders. We work with the appropriate provider to arrange this — it&#x27;s a separate product to Ryan&#x27;s own 5-year workmanship callback.

### Can you build to Passivhaus or Future Homes Standard?
+Yes. We deliver high-performance fabric specs as standard and have experience building to Passivhaus targets (airtightness &lt;0.6 ach@50Pa, MVHR, triple glazing, thermal-break detailing). Future Homes Standard compliance is the default brief on all new builds going forward.

### Do you build for property developers?
+Yes — small developer schemes up to 4 units. Single contract, fixed price, programmed delivery, full handover pack per unit. Site valuations available monthly for stage-payment cash flow.

### What payment structure do you use?
+Stage payments tied to milestone completions — foundations, weathertight, plaster-out, second-fix, handover. Each stage independently valuable and verifiable. Deposit on contract signature, balance against milestones. We don&#x27;t ask for money for work not yet done.

### Do you cover my plot?
+Liverpool, Ormskirk, Southport, Formby, Skelmersdale and surrounding Northwest England on a sensible travel radius from our Huyton base. Plots further out considered on a case-by-case basis.
