Why Choose a New Build Home?
New build homes are becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their customised designs and long-term value. The reasons to choose a new build home will vary from person to person, but typically, our clients choose a new build for the following reasons for using our new build construction services in Dumfries and Galloway:
- Energy efficiency – new builds feature advanced insulation to keep you toasty and renewable heating, helping to reduce the cost of your energy bills and eliminate drafts that you can find on older properties.
- Custom design – you can choose your layout and tailor every part of the design to suit your needs and lifestyle.
- Low maintenance – as everything is new, there is less likely to be a chance of damage and repairs, keeping the maintenance costs low.
- Peace of mind – new builds come with warranties covering building works to provide peace of mind.
- Long-term value – new builds typically have a higher resale value and will not come with the issues of older homes, making them more attractive for buyers and increasing your value.
Our experienced custom home builders in Dumfries put you in charge of every detail, so you can be sure your new build is perfect for you. Why not check out our previous successful projects to see what your next project could look like?

Planning Permission for New Build Homes
Every new build needs planning permission before building works can begin. We have worked in Dumfries and Galloway for years and help all private clients obtain the planning permission they need. We manage the process from start to finish, ensuring compliance with local authority requirements.
Key factors affecting planning permission include:
- Location (conservation areas or green belt land may have restrictions)
- Property size and design
- Proximity to neighbouring homes
- Environmental considerations
New builds must also meet building regulations, covering ventilation, insulation, structural safety, and fire protection. We handle every stage to keep your project stress-free.
