Quick Answer

Yes, alongside renovation work we also build new-build houses, ground-up extensions, garden annexes and take on full general contracting projects across Greater Manchester, coordinating every trade and permit under one contract with a dedicated project manager. Every project is quoted individually after a site survey, since scope varies hugely.

About This Service

New Build & General Contracting — One Contract, Every Trade

Not every project is a renovation of an existing space. Some clients need a new-build house on a plot, a ground-up extension that's effectively a new structure attached to the existing home, a garden annexe or outbuilding, or a project that involves several different trades and specialists that need coordinating under one contract and one project manager. That's general contracting — and it's a service we offer alongside our core renovation work.

The value of using a general contractor rather than sourcing individual trades yourself is accountability. Groundworks, structural steel, brickwork, roofing, first fix, plastering, electrics, plumbing and finishing all sit under a single contract with a single point of contact. If something needs to change mid-project, it's one conversation, not five. Planning permission, Building Regulations sign-off and, where relevant, Party Wall matters are managed as part of the service.

As with our renovation projects, every new build or general contracting job is quoted in writing before work starts, and covered by our 10-year guarantee once complete.

Our Services

New Build Construction & General Contracting

Two related but distinct services — building something entirely new, and coordinating multi-trade projects under one contract.

New Build Construction

Building from foundations up — whether that's a new house on a plot, a ground-up extension, or a standalone garden building. Full structural work handled in-house or by our vetted, insured trade partners.

  • Groundworks, drainage and foundations
  • Structural steelwork and brickwork/blockwork shell
  • Roofing, first fix electrics and plumbing
  • Insulation and Building Regulations compliance
  • Garden annexes and standalone outbuildings
  • Full plastering, second fix and finishing

General Contracting / Project Management

For clients who already have plans, an architect or a plot, and need a single accountable contractor to deliver it — coordinating every trade so nothing falls between the gaps.

  • Single point of contact for the whole project
  • Trade scheduling and site management
  • Planning permission & Building Regs liaison
  • Party Wall Act support where relevant
  • Budget control and written variation approvals
  • Final sign-off and snagging management

FAQs

New Build & General Contracting — Questions Answered

What's the difference between a general contractor and a renovation company?+
A renovation company typically transforms an existing space. A general contractor takes overall responsibility for a project that may involve new construction, multiple trades and permits — coordinating groundworks, structural work, and every trade under one contract. We offer both: most of our work is renovation, but we also take on new-build and general contracting projects for clients who need that broader scope managed under a single point of contact.
Can you build a new house or a ground-up extension?+
Yes. We handle new-build houses, ground-up extensions built as new structures, and standalone garden annexes or outbuildings — from groundworks and foundations through to full finishing. If you already have architect's drawings, we'll quote against them; if not, we can point you to trusted designers we work with regularly.
Do you handle planning permission and Building Regulations?+
We support you through the planning application process and manage Building Regulations compliance and sign-off as part of the contract. Where a Party Wall Act notice is needed for work near a shared boundary, we handle that too. You are kept informed throughout and nothing is submitted without your agreement.
How is pricing worked out for a new build or general contracting project?+
Every project is different — a garden annexe, a ground-up extension and a full new-build house have very different scopes and costs. We visit, review any drawings, and provide a fully written, fixed-price quote before any work is booked in. There's no day-rate guessing and no unexplained extras — any change to scope is priced and agreed in writing before we proceed.
Is a general contracting project covered by the same guarantee as your renovations?+
Yes. New build and general contracting projects are covered by our 10-year guarantee on completion, and the project is fully insured throughout, in line with the rest of our work.
