in Somerset
Building from scratch is the best way to get exactly what you need – whether that’s a bespoke family home or a new headquarters for your business. With a direct team of specialists behind the tools, we handle everything from first dig to the final lick of paint.
Our New Build Construction Services
From breaking ground to the final handover, we provide a full range of new business premises and new home building
services in Somerset and across the South West. We handle the entire build, ensuring that the schedule stays on track
and the construction meets our 35+ year standard for excellence.

Bespoke New Build Homes
High-end residential builds for private clients. We combine modern energy efficiency with traditional Somerset masonry and master carpentry.

Reliable delivery for local developers. We handle the site infrastructure, roads, and drainage alongside the main build to keep the project moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
For a bespoke single dwelling, the timeline is typically 9 to 12 months from breaking ground to final handover.

We provide a realistic schedule at the start and maintain the momentum to hit your move-in date.
