New build homes in Fulham and South West London
A new build house gives you a home designed around the way you live: open-plan living, plenty of natural light, high energy efficiency and low maintenance. Fulham’s riverside streets, schools and transport links make it one of the most popular places in London to build new, and our new build contractors know the local planning rules, tight sites and neighbouring properties that come with building here.
- Open-plan kitchen, dining and family spaces
- Energy-efficient insulation, glazing and heating
- Modern plumbing, electrics and smart home wiring
- Built to current building regulations, with certificates and warranties at handover

3. Clear, itemised quotation
You get a detailed price, so you know exactly what is included before work begins.
4. Construction
Groundworks, foundations, structure, roofing, windows, plumbing, electrics and heating, all coordinated by your project manager.
5. Finishes and handover
Kitchens, bathrooms, joinery, flooring and decoration, followed by a full snagging check and handover of certificates and warranties.
How much does a new build cost in London?
The cost of a new build in London depends on the size of the home, the site and ground conditions, access, the specification and the level of finish. Alongside construction, allow for design fees, surveys, planning and building control fees, utility connections and a contingency. Design and build helps keep costs under control because the budget shapes the design from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a new build in Fulham?
Yes. A new home needs full planning permission from Hammersmith & Fulham Council, with extra design rules in conservation areas. We manage the application as part of our design and build service.
What is the difference between design and build and a traditional build?
In a traditional build you hire an architect and then a separate builder. With design and build, one company handles both, giving you a single point of contact and better control over cost and time.
Do you also do extensions and loft conversions?
Yes. Alongside new builds we carry out house extensions, kitchen extensions, loft conversions, basement extensions and full house renovations across South West London.
Which areas do your builders cover?
We work across Fulham and South West London, including Putney, Wandsworth, Chelsea, Barnes, Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, Wimbledon and Kew.
