New Build Construction Services
Building a new home is one of the largest investments you will make. Whether you are planning a self-build on a purchased plot, replacing an existing property, or developing land, the builder you choose determines the outcome. Renovat Construction manages the entire process, from the first site assessment through to your keys being handed over.
Unlike volume housebuilders working from standard templates, every Renovat new build is designed and built to your exact specifications. Room sizes, layouts, materials, finishes and energy efficiency features are all tailored to what you actually want, not what is easiest to build at scale.
Types of New Build Projects
Custom Self-Build Homes
For homeowners who want complete control over their new property. We manage the full build from planning application through to completion. Self-build may qualify for VAT reclaim on construction costs.
Replacement Dwellings
Demolishing an outdated or unsuitable property and replacing it with a modern new build. Replacement dwellings often benefit from planning advantages as residential use is already established on the site.
Plot Development
For landowners with plots suitable for residential development. We provide turnkey construction from planning through to completed homes, including sites that require new planning applications.
Garden Plot Development
Large gardens can sometimes accommodate additional dwellings subject to planning. We have experience navigating the planning requirements for garden plot developments across Greater Manchester.
Our New Build Process
Every new build follows a structured programme. Here is what happens at each stage from first contact to handover.
Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We meet to understand your vision, requirements and budget. If you have a plot we assess it for access, ground conditions, services, and any constraints that may affect the build or planning prospects.
Design and Planning Permission
Working with our architectural partners, we develop designs that maximise your plot. We manage the full planning application process with your local Greater Manchester authority, from drawings through to decision.
Building Regulations and Technical Design
Once planning is approved we prepare detailed technical specifications and submit building regulations applications including structural calculations and energy assessments.
Groundworks and Foundations
The build begins with site clearance, drainage installation and foundation construction. We arrange site investigations to determine the most appropriate foundation solution for your plot.
Superstructure and Weatherproofing
We construct the main structure including walls, floors, roof and external doors and windows. At this stage your new home takes shape and becomes weathertight.
First Fix and Services
Internal work begins with first fix carpentry, electrical wiring, plumbing and heating. This stage involves close coordination between multiple trades managed by your project manager.
Plastering and Second Fix
Internal walls and ceilings are plastered, then second fix is completed including sockets, doors, kitchens, bathrooms and all internal joinery.
Decoration and External Works
Your chosen decoration scheme is applied throughout along with floor coverings, sanitaryware and all final fixtures. External works including driveways and landscaping are completed.
Snagging and Building Control Sign-Off
We conduct thorough quality inspections and compile a snagging list. Every item is addressed before you take possession. Building control conducts final inspections and issues completion certificates.
Handover and Aftercare
You receive your new home with all warranties, certificates, operating manuals and documentation. We remain available during the defects liability period for any aftercare required.
Building Regulations for New Build Homes
All new build homes must comply with current Building Regulations. We manage all building regulations applications and inspections throughout your project. Key requirements include:
What to Consider Before Building
Finding the Right Plot
Location, size, orientation and access all affect what you can build and at what cost. Before purchasing land, check the planning history, investigate ground conditions, confirm service connections, and take professional advice on planning prospects. We offer free initial site assessments for plots you are considering.
Planning Permission for New Builds
All new build homes require full planning permission. Standard applications typically take 8 to 13 weeks, though complex sites may take longer. Factors affecting planning success include local development policies, site history, design quality, and impact on neighbouring properties. We manage the entire planning process on your behalf and have experience working with all Greater Manchester planning authorities.
New Build Costs in Greater Manchester
New build costs depend on size, specification, site conditions and location. Beyond construction costs, budget for land purchase, professional fees, planning and building control fees, service connections, external works and a contingency of 10 to 15 percent of the build cost. We provide detailed itemised quotations after a site assessment so you have accurate figures before committing.
Project Timeline
A typical new build takes 12 to 18 months from initial design to completion. This includes 3 to 4 months for design and planning approval plus 9 to 12 months for construction depending on size and complexity. We provide a detailed week by week programme at the start of every project.
Financing Your New Build
Self-build mortgages work differently from standard mortgages with funds released in stages as construction progresses. We recommend using a specialist self-build mortgage broker familiar with the Greater Manchester market. We are experienced in working alongside staged payment mortgage requirements.
Areas We Cover for New Build Construction
We deliver new build projects across all Greater Manchester boroughs. Each area has its own planning authority with specific policies. Our experience working across the region means we understand local planning requirements before you commit to a project.
