Wellmade.Homes Concept

Day 1New homes, built to order

A home is a promise.
We keep ours.

Before the first spade goes in, we agree two things with you: the price, and the day you get your keys. Then we build to both.

Day 7Foundations

The part you'll never see.

We dig down to firm ground and pour the concrete as soon as building control has checked the trench. Everything you will see stands on work you never will, so that's where we're most careful.

Day 21Walls

Laid true, course by course.

Every course of bricks is laid to a line and checked with a level as the walls rise, well inside what the warranty allows. You'll never measure it. You'll see it in straight lines and windows that sit square.

Day 45Timber frame and roof

You'll never have to chase us.

One site manager from Day 1 to the keys, who answers the phone. And every Friday, a photo of your house in your inbox.

Day 90Watertight

Watertight before the autumn rain.

Slates on and windows in, so everything inside stays dry while we finish it. Triple glazed, insulated well beyond the regulations, heated by a heat pump.

  • Triple glazed
  • Heat pump
  • EPC A

Day 130The finish

Finished outside, too.

Scaffolding down. Then the drive, the lawn and the planting. The landscaping is part of the price, not an extra at the end.

Five promises, written into your contract.

These are the five things people dread most about building a home. Each one is a clause in the contract you sign with us, before the first spade goes in.

  1. 1

    “The price will creep up.”

    One fixed price, in writing, before Day 1.

    Nothing is added later unless you ask us to change something.

  2. 2

    “It will finish late.”

    A handover date, and £100 a day if we miss it.

    Every house has a day-by-day programme from the start. The date is in the contract, and so is what we pay you if we're late.

  3. 3

    “I'll pay before the work is done.”

    Six payments, never ahead of the work.

    Each one is due only after that stage has been checked and signed off.

  4. 4

    “Nobody will tell me anything.”

    One site manager, from Day 1 to the keys.

    One person who answers the phone, and a photo of your house every Friday.

  5. 5

    “The site will be a mess.”

    Swept and tidied every evening.

    For your neighbours, and for you. You've seen it in every photo above.

You pay when a stage is finished. Never before.

Six payments across the 180 days. Each one falls due at the end of its stage, after someone other than us has checked the work, so the money always follows the house.

Amounts for the house in the film, at £435,000.

Every Friday, a photo of your house.

Your site manager takes it from the same spot each week, so you can watch it grow from wherever you are.

Wherever you're starting from.

We'll take it through planning.

Our architect draws the house with you and takes it through planning permission, start to finish. Then you get one fixed price.

Book a plot visit

One price, agreed before Day 1.

Every price includes the drawings, the planning application, the build, heating, landscaping and the 10-year warranty. The land isn't included.

  • Three bedrooms 140 m²from£340,000

    A family home on a modest plot, built to the same standard as the rest.

  • Four bedrooms 180 m²from£435,000

    The house in the film: brick and charred timber, a slate roof, a heat pump.

  • Five bedrooms 240 m²from£575,000

    Room to grow, with space for a home office or a garden room.

Your price is fixed in writing before we start, and it doesn't move.

Day 180. The first evening, lights on.

Walk your plot with us.

We'll meet you on site, walk the ground with you and tell you honestly what it can become. It costs nothing.

We build within 60 miles of our yard in Hampshire.

Please add a postcode, your name and your email so we can arrange the visit.
