New Builds In Aldershot
A new house in Aldershot needs full planning permission from Rushmoor Borough Council, so the first job is working out what the council is likely to accept on your plot. Lemon Tree Construction brings in architects and structural engineers at that stage, so the design, layout and structure are settled before the application goes in.
Decisions on smaller schemes usually take around 8 weeks, and major applications around 13 weeks. Once consent is granted, we manage the build from groundworks and frame to roofing, services and finishing, with building control inspecting at each key stage.
Every new home we build follows the Future Homes Standard. That means low-carbon heating from a heat pump rather than a gas boiler, higher levels of insulation, an airtight building envelope and solar panels where the roof allows. These measures keep running costs down for years to come.
Timber used on our sites is responsibly sourced, and we are fully insured. If you own land in Aldershot or are thinking about buying a plot, get in touch for an honest assessment of what the site could hold and how the planning process is likely to unfold.

Full Project Management For New Builds In Aldershot
Building a new home in Aldershot involves more trades and decisions than most people expect, so we take on the job of running all of it. Our team books the architect, structural engineer and building control inspections, orders materials in the right sequence and keeps groundworkers, bricklayers, roofers and electricians working to one programme. The planning application goes to Rushmoor Borough Council, and we build its decision period into the timetable rather than guessing a start date. You deal with one contact at Lemon Tree Construction, who reports progress and flags anything that needs your input.
Customisation For New Builds In Aldershot
No two plots here are quite alike, and neither are the people building on them. We start by listing how you actually live: how many bedrooms, whether you need a home office, where the morning light falls, how much garden you want to keep. Your architect turns that brief into drawings, and we price the specification you choose rather than a standard house type. Changes are easiest before planning is submitted, so we spend time getting the layout right early, then build your Aldershot home exactly as agreed, down to the finishes and fittings.
Sustainable Building Practices For New Builds In Aldershot
A new house in Aldershot today has to meet the Future Homes Standard, which shapes the build from the foundations up. Warmth is supplied by a heat pump, with no gas boiler on the premises, while walls, floors and roof carry thicker insulation, and the whole envelope is sealed for airtightness so warmth stays inside. Where the roof faces the right way, solar panels can add free electricity. We use responsibly sourced timber for structural elements and joinery, and building control checks each stage, so the finished home costs less to run and meets current regulations.
Transparency For New Builds In Aldershot
Before work starts, you receive a written quote that breaks the build into clear stages, showing what each one includes and what it leaves out. We recommend setting aside 10 to 15 per cent for contingencies, and we explain the reasoning rather than burying it in the figures. During the build you get regular updates, photos when you cannot visit, and early warning if a decision on your side affects cost or timing. If something unexpected turns up in the ground on your Aldershot plot, we talk it through with you before any extra money is spent.
