New Builds In Farnborough
Lemon Tree Construction builds new homes in Farnborough, from a single replacement house to a small development on an infill plot. Because every new dwelling needs full planning permission, we start by reviewing your site against Rushmoor Borough Council's planning requirements and preparing the drawings, surveys and supporting documents your application needs.
Householder and minor applications are usually decided within 8 weeks, while major schemes can take 13 weeks or more, so we build those timescales into your programme from day one. Once permission is granted, our team manages groundworks, structure, roofing, services and finishes, coordinating architects, structural engineers and building control throughout the build.
New homes are now designed around the Future Homes Standard, which means heat pumps instead of gas boilers, higher insulation levels and better airtightness. We build to these standards so your new Farnborough home has low running costs and a strong energy rating from the day you move in.

Full Project Management For New Builds In Farnborough
A new build has a great many moving parts, and on Farnborough projects we take responsibility for every one of them. Lemon Tree Construction briefs the architect and structural engineer, gathers drawings and reports for the full planning submission to Rushmoor Borough Council and lines up building control visits at the key stages. On site we set the order of work, time deliveries so materials are not left lying around, and keep the plot safe and tidy. One project lead answers your questions on design, cost and timing, so you never have to chase contractors yourself.
Customisation For New Builds In Farnborough
Whether you are replacing an older Farnborough house or starting from an empty plot, the design begins with your household. We ask who will live there, how each room will be used, how much outside space matters and whether anyone works from home. Those answers become a written brief for the architect, then a priced specification covering structure, glazing, heating, kitchen, bathrooms and decoration. You can adjust any line before construction starts, weighing what each change adds or saves, and once the specification is signed off it becomes the standard we build and check against.
Sustainable Building Practices For New Builds In Farnborough
Since the Future Homes Standard came in, the homes we build here look much the same from the street but work very differently inside. There is no gas meter; an air source heat pump supplies heating and hot water, often through underfloor pipes on the ground floor. Roof, walls and floor slab are insulated to a far higher level, and the structure is made airtight, with mechanical ventilation bringing in fresh air. Solar panels go on suitable roofs, and our timber comes from responsible sources. For a Farnborough family, that adds up to noticeably smaller energy bills.
Transparency For New Builds In Farnborough
Nobody should have to guess what their new home will cost. For a Farnborough new build, our quote lists each stage with its own price and spells out the provisional sums, the exclusions and the assumptions behind them. Keeping roughly a tenth to a seventh of the budget in reserve is wise, and we are frank about what might call on that reserve. As work progresses you receive written reports, plus a phone call the moment anything looks likely to shift the cost or the finish date. No variation goes ahead until you have approved its price.
