New Builds In Dorking
Plots around Dorking come with a setting that deserves respect, close to the Surrey Hills National Landscape and its open countryside. Lemon Tree Construction builds new homes here with that in mind, working with architects and structural engineers on houses that suit their surroundings and satisfy Mole Valley District Council.
Full planning permission is required for every new dwelling. For non-major applications, a decision usually comes within 8 weeks; major schemes generally take 13 weeks. We include those periods in the programme so that funding, design and the build start line up.
Your new Dorking home will be built to the Future Homes Standard. That means a heat pump instead of a gas boiler, insulation well above older standards, an airtight structure and solar panels where the roof is suitable. Building control inspections are arranged at each key stage, and we use responsibly sourced timber throughout.
As a family-run builder from Frimley, we manage the site ourselves from start to finish. If you have land in Dorking or are considering a replacement house, we are happy to talk it through.

Full Project Management For New Builds In Dorking
Dorking lies on the edge of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, which makes careful planning and design central to any new home. We manage the project end to end. That means bringing in an architect who understands the setting, coordinating the structural engineer, preparing the full application to Mole Valley District Council and then running the build itself. Our site manager schedules trades, oversees quality and arranges building control inspections. You have one contact who knows every detail of your Dorking project.
Customisation For New Builds In Dorking
We build new homes around their owners. In Dorking, that often includes making the most of views, choosing materials that sit comfortably in the landscape, and planning rooms for the way you spend your days. We work through the brief with you and your architect, from the number of bedrooms to the type of windows and floor finishes, then cost each choice so you can decide with full information. The approved design is what we build, without quiet substitutions, and if a product becomes unavailable we offer you alternatives to choose from.
Sustainable Building Practices For New Builds In Dorking
Near protected countryside, a low-energy house makes good sense. Our new builds in Dorking follow the Future Homes Standard, which brings heating from a heat pump with no gas connection, high insulation levels, airtight construction with planned ventilation, and solar panels where the roof and setting allow. We use responsibly sourced timber and favour durable materials that age well. The house uses less energy, stays comfortable in all weather and suits the expectations of buyers and planners in this part of Surrey.

From the first conversation, we aim to make the cost and progress of your Dorking build easy to follow.

Any change is priced in writing before work goes ahead, and if a problem arises we tell you promptly, along with the options for dealing with it.
