What are the types of Residential Projects?

We know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to building residential homes, primarily because people have different preferences, budgets, and requirements. There are several types of residential construction, each with its benefits and challenges. Let's see the types of residential construction:

Single-Family Homes—These are residential houses built for one family. They can be small or big, depending on what the owner or developer wants to achieve. We have built several luxury residential homes for our clients in London and the South East.

Multi-unit Residential Homes—These buildings can house more than one family under the same roof. Examples of these are duplexes, apartment blocks, and townhouses. 

Custom Residential Homes - These houses are built specifically for one client alone. Everything is chosen by the homeowner or developer, from the floor plan to the colour of the bricks. We have built many luxury dream houses from the ground up. 

Our Residential Construction Work Process

Here are the main steps that our Residential Construction team take, from the initial idea to when our team completes the work. 

Design and Preparation 

In the first phase, as the client, you will begin to design your dream home or investment project on paper. You will determine the costs, select an architect, devise the plans to be drawn up, survey the land, and apply for permits if required. After this stage, you will seek quotes from professional residential contractors like us to build your dream home.  It may seem like a lot of paperwork, but these tasks are essential for everything that follows. 

Construction and Framing 

This is where the construction work begins. The site is cleared, levelled, and excavated, and the teams commence on the basic plumbing foundation and groundwork. Framing is when the house we're building looks like a house. Our residential team build the home's skeleton on the foundation, building walls and roof trusses.

Lock Up

This is a stage when the house can be locked and secured. In this phase, the windows, doors, and roof are installed. Insulation goes into this stage, and all the electrical and plumbing systems are ready for installation.

Fixture and Fittings

This is where all the fine details of the residential build come together. We install all the interior decorations, such as countertops, splashbacks, tiling, skirting boards, joinery work, and paint the walls, flooring, etc. We also install all heating and cooling systems at this stage. 

Completion and Handover 

In the final phase, our team adds finishing touches to light fittings, door handles, etc. We also install the appliances, complete all outdoor work, and begin cleaning up. We will walk through the property with the client to check for any defects that need addressing. Once the client has approved everything, the handover can start. This starts with final inspections, paperwork, and giving them the keys. After this, the client can move in or prepare the property to be sold on the market.
