For clients who want one team responsible for the whole job, nHouse takes the build from site setup to handover: demolition and groundworks, foundations, construction using panels, modules or traditional methods, utility connections, fit out and commissioning, with one point of contact accountable for the programme and the budget.
Come to us for this on its own, or as one stage of a build we take from plot to handover.
Demolition where an existing building is being replaced, site clearance, groundworks and foundations built to the fixed design.
The house built using the method that suits the design and the site, then made weathertight. Where panels or modules are made offsite, they are built while the site is prepared.
Water, power, drainage and data connections completed and coordinated with the utility companies, one of the most common causes of delay on a self-build when nobody owns it.
Internal finishes, kitchens and bathrooms, commissioning of heating and ventilation, final building control sign off and the keys in your hand.
Because the gaps between trades and suppliers are where self-builds lose time and money. With one team responsible for groundworks, construction, services and fit out, there is one programme and one person to call.
Yes. Where the plan is to replace an existing house, demolition and clearance are part of the full build. Replacing an existing dwelling is also one of the most common ways to build a new home in the Green Belt or open countryside.
It depends on the size of the house, the site and the approvals, so we give you a programme for your project rather than a headline figure. Where panels or modules are made offsite, the house is being built while the foundations go in, so the time on site is shorter. A traditional build takes longer on site but can suit tighter plots better.
Once the design is fixed, the house itself is priced against a settled specification. Groundworks and connections carry more uncertainty until the surveys are done, which is why we investigate them early and show you the allowances clearly.
Most lenders need a new home to carry a structural warranty, and we design and build to the warranty provider's requirements from the start. The provider and the cover are confirmed for each project.
Most clients start with a question, not a build. We work at whatever point you have reached.
