Create the home you've always dreamed of with the help of our experienced house builders in Devon and Somerset. Combining modern and traditional techniques, we use a wide range of materials to realise your vision, delivering bespoke homes that reflect your lifestyle while minimising disruption and showing consideration to neighbouring properties and the local community.
Whether you’re planning to build a contemporary new home or a traditionally designed property, each project is carefully considered from the outset. We focus on quality, longevity, and thoughtful design rather than volume building, creating energy-efficient homes built to modern standards that you will genuinely enjoy living in for years to come.
House build management
We collaborate closely with various contractors - from your initial idea to the final details, we can take care of everything:
- Demolition and site clearance, if necessary.
- Collaborating with the architect to produce architectural drawings and structural calculations.
- With help from third-party contacts, we can offer planning permission and building regulation support, and liaise with building control.
- Foundations, drainage, and all structural work.
- Brickwork, roofing, glazing, and insulation.
- Heating, electrics, plumbing, and ventilation.
- Plastering, flooring, painting, and decoration.
- Once complete, we provide all necessary sign-offs and compliance documentation, including evidence of Gas Safe-registered work and NICEIC-certified electrical installations.
We coordinate every project, carrying out regular quality control checks to ensure the highest standards are met. Additionally, we source all building materials and organise waste removal throughout the build.
Twelve months after completion, we offer a complimentary visit to address any snagging issues that may arise as the house settles - giving you peace of mind that we’re still here after the build is finished.
Advantages of new builds over older properties
- Modern new-build homes are designed to meet current energy-efficiency standards, with many achieving strong EPC ratings such as A or B, helping homeowners benefit from lower running costs and improved comfort.
- Lower maintenance due to new fixtures, fittings and heating systems.
- Greater flexibility to personalise layouts, room sizes and features to create the home of your dreams.
- You can include purpose-designed home offices, open plan kitchens and additional storage.
- Each newly built property from Bridgecaster comes with an NHBC 10-year warranty.
