Trusted New Build Home Contractors in London

At New Build Contractors, we specialise in building bespoke homes across London, Berkshire, Surrey, and Buckinghamshire. With over a decade of hands-on experience, we’ve built a team of skilled professionals committed to quality from the ground up, including tradespeople, engineers, site managers, and surveyors.

Unlike many others in the industry, we don’t outsource to subcontractors. By keeping everything in-house, we maintain complete control over build quality, timelines, and the small details that make the most significant difference to your home.

Demolish and Rebuild: A Smarter Way to Build Your Home in London

Many of our clients choose to demolish an existing property and start fresh. This often proves more cost-effective than working within the limitations of an older structure. Renovating around an existing shell can introduce hidden challenges, typically extending the project timeline and increasing costs. A new build allows for a clean slate, enabling you to design the layout, flow, and style exactly how you want them.

We support clients through every stage of the journey, including early concept designs and navigating the planning process. Most homeowners we work with continue to live in their property during the planning phase, and we help prepare everything so that the transition to construction is smooth once the approvals are in place.

Our Commitment to Safety, Standards and Sustainability

We are proud to be registered with NHBC and hold a number of key accreditations, including Safe Contractor, Considerate Constructor, and certifications from both Gas Safe and NICEIC. We also provide comprehensive insurance coverage for professional indemnity, public liability, employer’s liability, and all risks.

Health, safety, and responsible building practices are at the heart of everything we do. Our waste materials are processed through our sister company, Demolition Contractors London, where over 95% is recycled, ensuring your build leaves a lighter environmental footprint.

A Client-First Approach

We see every new build as a partnership. Our team is available and responsive from your first enquiry to the final handover. We don’t just build homes, we build trust. Our reputation is built on honest advice, consistent communication, and a genuine passion for transforming plans into places you’ll love to live.

Our Process - New Home Construction in London, Handled Properly

At New Build Contractors, we know that building or transforming a home isn’t just a construction project; it’s personal. Whether it’s your dream home, a family investment, or a long-awaited upgrade, we treat each build with the attention and respect it deserves.

We’ve designed our process to take the pressure off you while keeping you informed every step of the way. From the very first conversation to the final handover, you’ll have a team by your side that listens, explains, and delivers no fluff, no delays, no surprises.

Step 1: Let’s Talk

Before we begin drawing up plans, we meet with you in person—no sales pitch, no obligation, just an honest conversation about what you want to achieve. We take the time to understand your ideas, your priorities, and any concerns you might have. It's also an opportunity for you to get to know us and determine if we’re the right fit to bring your vision to life.

Step 2: Design & Planning

Once you're ready to move forward, we dive into the details. We’ll visit the site, explore what’s possible within your budget, and work with you (and your architect, if you have one) to shape the design. This stage is about more than drawings; it’s about building a clear, realistic roadmap that covers everything from planning approvals to material choices and timelines. We keep things transparent, practical, and grounded in what works.

Step 3: The Build

When everything is signed off, construction begins. You’ll receive a clear schedule, regular progress updates, and a dedicated team that treats your home like their own. Our tradespeople are experienced, respectful, and take pride in delivering top-quality work. Throughout the build, you’ll always know who to contact and what’s happening next. No chasing. No radio silence. Just steady, professional progress, exactly as agreed.

What Makes New Build Contractors Different?

We’re not here to rush jobs or cut corners. We’re here to build things that last, and to make the process feel straightforward and stress-free for you. We’ve built our reputation on honest work, good people, and homes we’re genuinely proud to put our name to.

So, whether you’re planning a high-end residential build or a full-scale renovation in London, New Build Contractors are ready to help you do it right, from the ground up.

FAQ

What does Residential Construction in London mean?

In simple terms, residential construction in London is the process of building or renovating homes that people call their own. That might be a new-build house, a block of flats, a complete refurbishment of a townhouse, or a side-return extension in a terraced street. It covers everything, from digging foundations and laying bricks to installing heating systems, rewiring electrics, fitting kitchens, and adding the final touches that bring a home together.

What Should You Consider Before Starting Residential Construction in London?

Taking on a residential construction project in London is exciting, but before you start choosing tiles or paint colours, there are a few key things you’ll want to think through.

First and foremost is your budget. You'll also need to account for planning fees, professional services such as those of architects or structural engineers, and a buffer for any unexpected issues that may arise along the way. A clear, realistic budget from the start helps everything run more smoothly.

Timeline is another major factor. Consider when you’d like the project to begin and conclude. Some builds are straightforward, while others take longer, depending on factors such as planning approvals, structural complexity, or access to the site. A good construction partner will help you map this out properly.

Then there’s the design itself. Whether you already have plans drawn up or you’re starting with a blank slate, having a clear idea of what you want and how the space will function is essential. That’s where professional input makes a real difference.

And of course, you’ll need to consider planning permission and building regulations. Not all projects require formal planning, but many do, especially in conservation areas or when changing the exterior of a building. It's essential to check what’s needed before you begin.

What is the cost of new build residential construction?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the cost of residential construction in London — it depends on what you’re building, where you’re building it, and how detailed or high-spec the design is.

For example, a straightforward extension or refurbishment might start at around £2,000–£2,500 per square metre. At the same time, high-end new builds or full-scale renovations in central or conservation areas can easily exceed £ 3,500 per square metre. Costs can also rise depending on your choice of materials, the type of structural work required, access issues, and the level of finish you’re aiming for.

At New Build Contractors, we understand the importance of staying within budget without compromising quality. That’s why we provide clear, detailed cost breakdowns from the outset, not just ballpark figures. We take the time to understand your priorities and help you make informed decisions that maximise value for your investment.

We also work closely with trusted suppliers and trades to ensure every penny is spent wisely, whether you're looking for a sleek, modern build or a traditional-style home with long-lasting materials.

If you’re planning a residential project in London and want a realistic idea of what it might cost, we’re happy to discuss it with you, with no pressure, just straightforward guidance based on our experience.
