Our New Builds

Choosing to embark on a new build is an exciting opportunity to bring your vision to life. At JD Cornhill Stonework, we offer a comprehensive, step-by-step service to ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish:

Project Planning and Design

Every successful build begins with careful planning. We work closely with you to develop clear concepts and detailed architectural plans that reflect your aspirations, style, and practical requirements. Whether you want to incorporate traditional stonework and limework to echo local heritage or prefer a more contemporary design, our planning process ensures your project starts on the right footing.

  • Initial Consultations: We listen to your ideas, assess your site, and advise on feasibility.
  • Design Development: Our team produces drawings and specifications tailored to your goals.
  • Planning Applications: We handle the submission process and liaise with local authorities on your behalf.

Groundwork

Preparation is key to a safe, stable, and efficient build. Our experienced team undertakes all groundwork with precision, including:

  • Site Clearance: Removing existing structures or debris as needed.
  • Excavation: Preparing trenches and spaces for foundations and utilities.
  • Foundation Laying: Constructing robust foundations that provide the essential support for your new building.

By managing these critical early stages, we set the stage for a smooth construction phase and long-term structural integrity.


Construction

When it comes to building, we pride ourselves on delivering new builds of the highest standard. Using quality materials, traditional techniques, and modern best practices, we construct homes and commercial spaces designed to last for generations.

  • Structural Work: From blockwork and stonework to roofing and joinery.
  • Traditional Finishes: Incorporating authentic limework and sympathetic details where desired.
  • Modern Standards: Ensuring your building meets current regulations for safety, energy efficiency, and performance.

Throughout the process, our craftsmen maintain a meticulous eye for detail, ensuring every element of your new build exceeds your expectations.

Testimonial

Jamie is very knowledgeable, experienced and skilful with working on historic properties. He cares a lot about the heritage, integrity and professionalism of his work, only using methods and materials which are true to the age and nature of the building. He works with great care and sensitivity. He is able to recommend other niche specialists to work in parallel with his work (traditional paint-makers etc.). We really enjoy having Jamie around - he is fun and respectful of the home he is working on.
