FAQ

New build questions

How long does a new build take?

Do you offer a warranty on new builds?

Yes. We work with ICW to provide a 10-year structural warranty on new homes, which also reassures buyers and mortgage lenders.

Can my new build be gas-free?

Yes. We build gas-free homes heated by air source heat pumps, installed by Daikin and Mitsubishi approved, MCS-certified contractors. Solar panels, battery storage and smart lighting can be added too.

Do you work with developers as main contractor?

Yes. We regularly act as main contractor on multi-unit schemes, managing groundworks, structure, services, finishes and sign-off. For larger projects we can bring in our joint-venture partner.
