What we offer
Build contracts for self builders
You own the plot and the drawings; we build the house under one contract with stage payments and a programme you can plan around.
Small schemes and phased projects
Extensions, conversions and new builds delivered in planned phases, as at our current Cadeby project.
Landlord refurbishments
Rental property brought up to standard quickly and properly: kitchens, bathrooms, electrics, heating and decoration under one programme.
Commercial and community work
Accessible facilities, groundworks and external works for community buildings, nurseries and small businesses.
Why developers work with us
Numbers you can rely on
An itemised breakdown measured by an independent QS, a fixed quotation built from it, and a budget tracker updated at every stage payment.
Programme discipline
A written programme with the quotation and a schedule at the start of every week. Our reviews mention this more than anything else.
Accountability
FMB Approved, TrustMark registered, SMSTS site management and £5m public liability. One contract and one point of responsibility for the whole site.

How a project runs with us
Nobody signs anything until the price is real. Every stage is a small step, so you are never asked for a big commitment on a vague number.
Free consultation and budget
We visit, look at the property and talk through what you want. You get a written budget range built from your ideas or early drawings, at no charge.
Design and approvals
If you need drawings we introduce architects we trust, then handle planning, building regulations and the structural engineer with them.
Independent QS takeoff
Before the price is fixed we recommend an independent quantity surveyor measures the final drawings line by line. It costs £240 plus VAT, refunded in full if you appoint us, and you keep the document either way.
Fixed quotation and contract
The agreed takeoff becomes the project budget. You get a fixed quotation built from it, a written contract and stage payments tied to progress, never paid ahead of the work.
The build
One point of contact, a schedule at the start of every week, both directors’ numbers, and any change agreed in writing before it happens. Sites are kept clean for you and your neighbours.
Handover and guarantee
Building control sign off, certificates and a 5 year workmanship guarantee as standard, with an optional 10 year insurance backed guarantee available.
Typical scheme values
Honest ranges, so you can see where a project like yours is likely to sit before we price it properly.
Whole house remodel
A major extension combined with a full remodel, or a back to brick transformation like our Wolvey project.

Individual new homes and multi phase schemes, delivered in planned stages over a year or more.
Find out more →Pre tender consultation report
A full written report before tender: scope, risks, programme and a QS led cost plan, so the scheme is priced on facts rather than allowances.
Figures include VAT and cover the building work finished to a good standard. Kitchens, bathrooms, bespoke glazing and landscaping are priced separately as provisional sums so you can see them. They are a realistic planning range, not a quote: your number comes from your own drawings and an itemised breakdown. See our project investment guide for the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of development work do you take on?
Single new homes and small schemes, phased extensions and conversions, refurbishments of rental property for landlords, and build contracts for self builders and small developers across Warwickshire and Leicestershire.
Do you work with investors and landlords?
Yes. We price from drawings with an itemised breakdown, programme the work to a fixed timescale and keep a budget tracker through the build, which is what an investor needs to make the numbers work.
Can you take on a project someone else has started?
Often, yes. We survey what has been built, agree what is sound and what needs putting right, and price the completion as a fresh scheme. One of our Google reviews is from a client whose garage we repaired after a vehicle hit it, which is the same principle: assess first, then fix properly.
How do you price development work?
The same way as every project: a written budget, an independent QS takeoff of the final drawings at £240 plus VAT, refunded on appointment, then a fixed quotation with stage payments tied to progress. For schemes of £300,000 and above we provide a full pre tender consultation report.
Do you offer commercial work?
Small commercial and community projects, yes. Recent examples include new accessible toilets at Wembrook Community Centre in Nuneaton and groundworks and play areas at a nursery in Hinckley.
