New build housing, green field to handover.

Single private plots through to small estates, delivered under one roof with principal contractor responsibility. Honeyman handles groundworks through to landscaped completion, with the same engineer on site at handover as quoted the job. Traditional masonry, timber frame and steel-frame builds all sit inside our remit.

What's Included

Every new build housing job, four areas covered.

Scope scales with the project, but these four areas are the spine of any new build housing engagement with Honeyman.

01 / 04

Groundworks & Substructure

Trial holes, foundations, drainage and ground bearing assessed and dimensioned before the slab goes down. SuDS, attenuation crates and rainwater management priced at fixed-quote stage.

02 / 04

Superstructure & Roof

Cavity masonry, SIPS, timber-frame or steel-frame to the engineer's spec. Roof carpentry, breathable membrane, tile or slate finish, all carried in-house with one programme.

03 / 04

First & Second Fix

Joinery, plumbing, electrics and the second-fix trades that decide whether the build feels properly finished or rushed at handover.

04 / 04

Warranty & Sign-Off

NHBC, LABC or Premier Guarantee warranties co-ordinated alongside building control sign-off, with all certificates handed over to the client on completion day.

Frequently Asked

Common questions, plainly answered.

What size new-builds do you take on?

From single private plots to small estates of up to six units. Most of our new-build work falls in the £350K to £1.5M build value range. Larger schemes are taken on a partnership or principal-contractor basis with the developer.

Do you build to current Future Homes Standard?

Yes. Recent builds use air-source heat pumps, MVHR, EV charge points and high fabric insulation as standard. We can also build to Passivhaus principles on request.

Can you arrange the warranty?

Yes. NHBC, LABC, Premier Guarantee or ABC+ structural warranties are co-ordinated as part of the build, with the certificate handed over on completion. Self-build warranties also covered.

Do you handle planning on a new-build?

We work alongside your architect on planning. Where you don't have one, we can introduce you to consultants we work with regularly across Rochdale and the wider North West.
