About Construction in Home Counties
We extend our London construction expertise into the six Home Counties bordering the capital, bringing the same standards of project management, design quality, and build precision that define our metropolitan work. Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire offer diverse construction opportunities — from ambitious new builds on generous rural plots to sensitive renovations of period properties in conservation villages.
Homeowners across the Home Counties increasingly seek a construction partner with London-grade quality and a proven track record. Our experience navigating London's demanding planning environment — Camden's basement policies, Westminster's Code of Construction Practice, RBKC's heritage requirements — means the Home Counties' district councils hold few surprises. We handle every planning authority professionally, efficiently, and with local knowledge built through years of project delivery.

Planning in Home Counties
The Home Counties are administered by dozens of district and borough councils, each with distinct Local Plans and planning policies. Green Belt is extensive across all six counties, particularly in areas closest to London — Epping Forest (Essex), Sevenoaks (Kent), and the areas around St Albans (Hertfordshire) all have significant Green Belt constraints.
Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty add additional design scrutiny in the Chilterns (Buckinghamshire), the Kent Downs, and the Surrey Hills. Conservation areas in historic market towns — Guildford, Windsor, St Albans, Tunbridge Wells — require sympathetic design and high-quality materials. We navigate these varied planning environments as standard, identifying the correct authority and policy framework for your specific property before any design work begins.
Construction Services by Borough
Surrey
Surrey combines exceptional natural beauty with some of the Home Counties' most desirable residential markets.
Kent
Kent's housing market benefits from its position as London's nearest Home County — excellent transport links via the High Speed 1 rail corridor from Ashford and Tonbridge have placed a premium on properties throughout the county.
Essex
Essex is London's largest neighbouring county and one of the most active construction markets in the Home Counties.
Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire sits directly north of London and has been shaped by its role as the capital's residential hinterland since the Victorian era.
Berkshire
Berkshire — officially a Royal County following Windsor Castle's presence within its boundaries — offers a distinctive combination of historic prestige and modern commuter convenience.
Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire offers London's western commuters some of the Home Counties' finest residential markets.
