Project Timeline
Every home we create goes on a journey. From planning permission and design, to the build itself, inspections, interiors, and those all-important finishing touches, we’ll be by your side at every step. Our aim is simple: to make the process seamless and enjoyable, while shaping a home that feels truly yours, crafted around your lifestyle and personal vision.
-
At the outset, we take the time to truly understand your vision, lifestyle, and priorities. During this initial consultation, we’ll also identify any potential challenges such as structural constraints or heritage considerations, while helping you shape the project’s scope, budget, and timeline. Alongside this, we provide advice on design opportunities, navigating planning requirements, and creating a layout that works perfectly for you.
-
Transparency is key, which is why Barnrose provides a clear and detailed quote and timeline before any work begins. This ensures you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden surprises. Depending on your project, your proposal may cover:
Architectural and design drawings
Architect and structural engineer costs
Planning permission, listed building and conservation consent, party wall agreements, and building regulations
Building work, including project management, labour, and materials
Garden design and landscaping
Interior design
Contingency costs
-
Before construction begins, we’ll meet with you to walk through the plan, answer questions, and ensure you feel confident about how the project will unfold. We believe that open, clear communication from the start lays the foundation for a smooth and successful build.
Our team works with care and precision, maintaining a tidy site and progressing efficiently without compromising quality. At the same time, we oversee and coordinate every stage of the project to keep things on track. You’ll also receive regular updates, so you remain informed and reassured throughout the process.
-
We know that creating a home does not end when the building work is complete. We love to help clients bring their spaces to life, whether that means selecting the right lighting, choosing window treatments, furnishing interiors, or adding those finishing touches that make all the difference. Our aim is to ensure your home feels beautifully finished while staying true to its character.
-
Your satisfaction is our priority, so we don’t consider a project complete until everything is perfect. Together, we’ll carry out a full inspection of the property, address any remaining snagging, thoroughly test all elements, and ensure every aspect is formally signed off, including completion certificates. Only once every detail has been checked, approved, and delivered to the highest standard do we consider the project truly finished.
