New Builds In Fleet
Our new build work in Fleet ranges from replacement houses to small developments on spare land. Lemon Tree Construction coordinates the architect, structural engineer and building control, so you have one point of contact from the first sketch to completion. Architects and engineers work to a single brief, which keeps decisions quick and the design consistent.
Every new dwelling needs full planning permission, and in Fleet that means an application to Hart District Council. Smaller applications are normally decided in about 8 weeks and major ones in about 13, so we factor the decision period into the programme before setting a start date.
Under the Future Homes Standard, new homes now use heat pumps rather than gas boilers and are built with more insulation and greater airtightness. We add solar panels where the site suits them, giving you a Fleet home that is cheaper to heat and run. Building control checks the work at each stage.

Full Project Management For New Builds In Fleet
New homes in Fleet involve designers, engineers, inspectors and a long list of trades, and our role is to keep all of them pulling in the same direction. We join the project early, sitting in on design meetings with your architect and structural engineer, then assemble the planning submission for Hart District Council and plan the start date around its decision period. Once work begins, our site manager sequences bricklayers, carpenters, roofers, plumbers and electricians, books each building control visit and checks quality daily. Throughout, a single contact handles your calls and questions.
Customisation For New Builds In Fleet
A self-commissioned house lets you make decisions that a developer would normally make for you. We help Fleet clients choose the layout, the size of each bedroom, the way the kitchen opens onto the garden, the storage, the glazing and the finishes in every room. Each decision is costed, so you can see what it adds or saves before settling on it. With the brief agreed, the architect completes the working drawings and we construct the house to match them, with no quiet swaps or short cuts along the way.
Sustainable Building Practices For New Builds In Fleet
Houses we build in Fleet are designed under the Future Homes Standard to use far less energy than the homes most people grew up in. An air source unit outside drives the heating and hot water, insulation is thickened in walls, loft and floor, and the frame is wrapped and taped to stop air leaking out. A ventilation system then supplies a steady flow of fresh air. Solar panels can be fitted on a roof that faces the right way. We build with responsibly sourced timber and walk you through the controls at handover.
Transparency For New Builds In Fleet
Plain speaking and clear figures are at the heart of how we work in Fleet. Your quote shows the price of each stage, highlights any provisional sums and lists what is not included, so comparisons with other builders are straightforward. Before construction begins we agree how changes will be priced, and each variation is set out in writing for your approval. Updates arrive regularly by phone, email or on site, and if anything threatens the programme or the budget we raise it immediately instead of waiting for the final invoice.
