New Builds
Build the home you really want
If you have the means and the vision, then building a new property from scratch may be the best route to creating the home of your dreams.
As architectural technologists, we specialise in the design and construction of new buildings. We pride ourselves as much on our understanding of space, aesthetics and materials, as we do on our knowledge of limitations and regulations, and how to get the most out of your plans.
In more than 40 years we have developed an in-depth understanding of modern trends, cost-saving technology and approach, as well as efficient energy solutions, whether for individual properties or multiple sites. And we have a proven track record for excellence across a full range of builds.
Divine Designs can advise and assist on all aspects of your new property, from initial design and viability through planning permission, to construction handover.
Things to Consider
Do I need an architect?
For many, employing the services of an architect may be an unnecessary cost. We are able to undercut the prices an architect would charge, due to the amount of education, training and qualification they carry.
However, we are no less capable at providing the service you require, producing designs that match your wish-list while being practical, cost-effective and most importantly: buildable.
Architectural firms typically work to a percentage of the build costs, which can create an incentive for designing a house that exceeds the original specification and cost. In some cases this can result in a project becoming unaffordable.
We’re dedicated to placing you – and your needs – at the centre of your project - rather than our profit margin.
A professional partner to bring your existing plans to life
If you have existing designs for a new property, and possibly even planning permission for their drawings, the next stage is to seek professional advice for structural support and room aesthetics.
Here at Divine Designs, we’ll not only help you avoid costly oversights, but offer experienced advice on the viability and practicalities of bringing your design to life.
We welcome all design briefs, no matter the stage of development, and will do our best to ensure the vision you provide us with is the one that becomes your home.
Full transparency to avoid spiraling costs
We want to be sure that you understand the reason behind our design suggestions, and all necessary elements of the planning process. We will explain why the planning rules are what they are.
Our new build design service includes clear pricing and explanation of costs, which our quantity surveyor will itemise and submit with the tender.
Know you’re in safe hands once our work is done
Once we have secured planning permission for the final design, the job passes to a building contractor to create your property.
We only recommend personally vetted builders and structural engineers. Every builder and engineer we recommend we’ve known for more than 10 years, and we’re confident they will not let you down.
We don’t ask our industry contacts for anything. No referral fee. No backhanders. And in turn, they give us – and you – their best price from day one.
