From the moment you decide you’re going to start from scratch and construct the perfect home for you and your family in Barnsley, Brighouse or the surrounding areas, there’s a lot to consider. It’s essential to make a list to ensure you’ve considered all options. Then there’s planning permission – have you outlined everything clearly? Do you need to return to the drawing board and re-adjust the original plans? You’ll be amazed at how many times your list will be edited before the domestic construction even begins.

We’ve compiled some tips to help you get underway with your new project. And remember, our team are only a phone call away and always happy to help. As residential builders, our services include:
When receiving quotations for new builds, ask potential builders for completion dates. Then add a few months, particularly if the building commences close to the winter. Weather plays a major part in delaying material deliveries and new build construction and, although our house builders at Holmfirth Building Services are used to working in all weathers, even we’ll call a halt at some stage.
If delays are inevitable, don’t panic. It happens. Also, don’t alter plans to make the job finish quicker. All you’ll end up with is a new build that’s not what you originally envisaged. You may have to amend plans due to building regulations but, if the home of your dreams has to be delayed for a few months due to circumstances beyond your control, we suggest you wait.
Make sure you’ve considered the future when designing your new build. The excitement now may lead to you forgetting some serious considerations, like a future family. Are you including enough bedrooms? Will the kitchen you’re purchasing now be fashionable in five years? Should you go with a standard heating system or think ahead and install an eco-friendly option?
Slowing down now and talking to our house builders at Holmfirth Building Services will certainly reap future benefits. Serving Barnsley, Brighouse and the surrounding areas, we’re a one-stop shop for all new build services.
