New Builds In Basingstoke
Lemon Tree Construction builds new homes in and around Basingstoke for private clients and small developers. We look after the full process, from coordinating architects and structural engineers at design stage to managing the trades on site and arranging building control sign-off.
Full planning permission from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is needed for every new dwelling. Non-major applications are usually determined in 8 weeks and major applications in 13, and a well-prepared submission gives your scheme the best chance of a smooth decision.
New homes must now meet the Future Homes Standard. Rather than gas boilers, they use heat pumps, and they are built with higher insulation levels, tighter airtightness and, where the orientation suits, solar panels. The result is a house in Basingstoke that is comfortable and cheaper to run.
We use responsibly sourced timber and hold BM Trada and FireQual accreditations. Send us details of your plot and we will tell you honestly what we think is achievable. Our family-run team is based in Frimley and fully insured.

Full Project Management For New Builds In Basingstoke
Basingstoke has seen plenty of new housing, but a one-off home on your own plot is a different exercise from buying off-plan. We manage it as a complete project. That includes coordinating your architect and structural engineer, guiding the full planning application to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council, booking building control at each inspection stage and running groundworks through to decoration. Our site lead sets the order of trades and deliveries, so work flows without long gaps, and you have one person to ring whenever you want an update.
Customisation For New Builds In Basingstoke
Because you are not buying a developer's standard house, you can decide what matters. We help Basingstoke clients turn a wish list into a buildable specification: open-plan or separate rooms, a downstairs bedroom for later life, a utility room big enough to be useful, garage or no garage. Each choice is priced so you can see its effect before committing. Once the design is fixed and approved, we build to it faithfully, and any later change is costed and agreed in writing before we carry it out.
Sustainable Building Practices For New Builds In Basingstoke
Sustainability is now written into the rules for new homes. Under the Future Homes Standard, a house we build in Basingstoke will run on a heat pump rather than gas, with high levels of insulation in the walls, roof and floor and an airtight shell to stop draughts. Solar panels are added where the site suits them. We specify responsibly sourced timber, and we plan ventilation alongside airtightness so the house stays healthy. Building control signs off each stage, giving you a home that is efficient by design.
Transparency For New Builds In Basingstoke
Our pricing comes as a detailed breakdown, not a single figure on a letter. You can see the cost of foundations, structure, roof, services and finishes, along with any provisional sums and the assumptions behind them. In Basingstoke, as everywhere we work, we advise keeping back between 10 and 15 per cent for contingencies and treat that money as yours, not ours. Throughout the build we report progress honestly, raise problems as soon as we spot them and confirm costs in writing, so there are no hidden surprises at the final account.
