Planning a budget for a house build project in Shropshire

One of the first things to consider when embarking on a self-build project is the budget. It’s important to have a realistic idea of how much money you’ll need to complete your build, as this will impact everything from the materials you use to the contractors you hire. Once you have a financial plan in place, you can start searching for land in Shropshire that’s suitable for your needs. The size and location of your plot will play a big role in determining the overall cost of your self-build, so be sure to take these factors into account when making your decision.

Once you’ve found the perfect piece of land, it’s time to start thinking about the design of the house. We always recommend working with an architect at this point who can help bring your vision to life and ensure that the correct technical drawings are submitted to your local authority. 

Finding a plot of land in Shropshire

Finding the right plot of land that meets your requirements in the right location is important when self-building. As well as the plot meeting the size and specification of what you want to build, it also needs to meet planning requirements too. If you are buying land with planning permission check what permits have been granted and note any restrictions that might prevent you achieving the design you want.   

Design and Build of your New Home

Designing a house requires a blend of creativity as well as important practical considerations such as which materials to use, and ground floor structure, which can all impact on the design and size of the house.

We always keep clients informed every step of the way about your choices and how they will impact the cost and overall design.  

Choose the right professional house building team 

Building your own home is an exciting project, but it’s also a lot of hard work and many people are unable to dedicate the amount of time and effort that’s required for a successful self build project, especially if you are trying to manage it in between a full time job and running a family. For that reason, we recommend our full turnkey service which gives you the right professional support from the outset; from applying for planning permission, design and construction, right through to the final finishing touches on your home.
