New Build Process
The new home build process begins with an initial consultation, where our team discusses your ideas and requirements. This meeting allows us to assess your project and provide professional guidance on what can be achieved within your budget and land constraints. When you’re satisfied with the concept, we enter the design and planning phase. During this step, our architects will create tailored designs and navigate the planning permissions required to ensure compliance with local regulations. Once plans are approved, we will manage the construction phase by coordinating with contractors, ensuring the build progresses smoothly, adheres to timelines, and maintains the highest standards throughout the project.
Applying For a New Build
New dwellings require full planning permission. This process usually takes about eight weeks, with a submission fee of £578 +£70 Admin + vat. A new build will generally come with conditions attached, which will require discharging, which A9 can help through our expertise or coordinate with specialist consultants.
