New Builds & Self-Build Projects
We work with self-builders, homeowners and property developers across Cornwall, providing professional groundworks and masonry services for new-build construction projects. From initial site preparation and foundations through to structural masonry and associated external works, we can undertake individual stages or a broader package tailored to the requirements of each build.
We understand the importance of careful planning and coordination throughout a construction project. Working from architectural drawings and structural engineering specifications, we aim to ensure each stage is completed accurately and ready for the trades that follow, helping your project progress smoothly.
FROM FOUNDATIONS TO STRUCTURAL MASONRY
We can undertake the essential groundwork and substructure elements of a new build, including foundation excavations, concrete foundations, trench blockwork, drainage, underground services and the preparation and construction of oversites and floor slabs.
Our masonry experience also allows us to continue into above-ground brickwork and blockwork, providing continuity between the groundwork and structural stages of construction.
Whether we’re undertaking several stages of your build or working alongside an appointed main contractor and other trades, we take a flexible approach to suit the project. We understand the importance of coordinating our work with others on site, ensuring each stage is completed to the required specifications and ready for the next phase of construction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a new build or managing your own self-build project? We’ve answered some of the questions we’re commonly asked about our involvement in new-build construction. If you’d like to discuss your plans or the stages you need assistance with, please get in touch.
Do you undertake complete new-build house construction?
We specialise in the groundworks and masonry elements of new-build construction rather than providing a complete housebuilding service. We can undertake substantial packages of work and coordinate with your appointed contractors for the remaining stages.
Can you work alongside my existing builder or main contractor?
Yes. We’re happy to work alongside main contractors, project managers and other trades, coordinating our work with the wider construction programme and following the relevant drawings and specifications.
Can you undertake the foundations and ground floor construction?
Yes. We undertake foundation excavations, concrete foundations, substructure blockwork, drainage, underground services, oversite preparation and concrete floor slabs, including reinforcement and membranes where specified.
Can you provide a quotation from architectural and structural drawings?
Yes. We can review architectural and structural engineering drawings to prepare a quotation for the relevant groundworks and masonry. We may also need to assess site access, ground conditions and other project-specific requirements.
How early should I contact you about my new-build project?
Ideally, contact us during the planning or design stages, once sufficient project information is available. Early discussions allow us to review the proposed works, consider site requirements and discuss availability before construction begins.
