Integrated Construction and Groundworks Expertise

As a new home builder offering integrated groundworks and construction services, we maintain full control over both below-ground and above-ground works. This continuity reduces risk, improves sequencing, and ensures that structural and architectural intent is carried through every stage of the build.

We regularly deliver new build homes across Wellington, Taunton and the surrounding areas, working on greenfield land, brownfield sites, and acquired plots.

FAQs – New Build Homes

Do you work with architects and external designers?

Yes. Rock Projects regularly collaborates closely with architects, designers, structural engineers, and other professional consultants. We are experienced in delivering construction works strictly in accordance with approved architectural drawings and specifications, while also providing practical input on buildability, sequencing, and technical detail where required.

Can you assist with land appraisal and early-stage feasibility?

We can provide early-stage support to help clients assess the feasibility of a proposed new build. This includes reviewing site constraints, access considerations, ground conditions, and potential development challenges, as well as offering practical guidance on build complexity and sequencing.

Do you deliver both single new build homes and small developments?

Yes. We undertake bespoke one-off new builds for private clients, as well as small residential developments for landowners and developers. This includes multi-unit housing schemes, replacement dwellings, annexes, and secondary residential buildings.

Are you able to build on restricted, rural, or sensitive sites?

We have extensive experience delivering construction services on sites with access limitations, planning sensitivities, or environmental constraints. This includes rural locations, infill plots, heritage settings, and sites subject to specific planning conditions. Our understanding of these challenges allows us to adapt construction methods, logistics, and sequencing to suit the site, while maintaining compliance with planning approvals and regulations.

At what stage should we engage a builder for a new build home?

Engaging a builder early in the process can be beneficial, particularly for projects involving complex sites or bespoke designs. Early involvement enables practical input on feasibility, construction methodology, and sequencing, helping inform design decisions before they are finalised. That said, we are equally comfortable joining projects at a later stage once planning approval and detailed designs are in place.
