It’s the perfect setting for a custom new build home that reflects your lifestyle and values.
Constructing a new build home is one of the most exciting and rewarding journeys you can take — but it also requires careful planning, trusted guidance, and skilled execution. At Andrews Construction, we specialise in bringing bespoke residential projects to life across North Leeds and beyond. With a reputation built on craftsmanship, transparency, and exceptional service, we’re proud to be the go-to choice for discerning homeowners who want to create a home that’s truly their own.
Whether you're starting with detailed architectural plans or just an idea of the home you want, we work with you from the ground up — guiding you through every stage, from feasibility and planning to foundations, structure, finishes, and final handover. Our team combines deep local knowledge with decades of construction experience to ensure your new build is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.
We begin by working with you and your architect to finalise your vision. This includes reviewing drawings, ensuring planning permission is in place, and confirming all structural and design details. If you need recommendations, we collaborate with a number of trusted architects and planning consultants.
Once approved, we start on site by preparing the land, digging out foundations, and installing drainage. This is the essential groundwork that ensures the home will be structurally sound and compliant with building regulations.
We construct the main shell of the house—this includes walls, roofing, windows, and doors. At this stage, the home takes shape, and you’ll be able to see the layout and character come to life.
With the structure complete, we move inside to begin plumbing, electrics, insulation, and the first stage of joinery. We also coordinate with suppliers for windows, glazing, heating systems, and other key installations.
We complete the second fix electrics and plumbing, fit kitchens and bathrooms, lay flooring, and decorate throughout. Before handover, we conduct a full snagging process and ensure everything is completed to the highest standard, ready for you to move in.
Yes, obtaining planning permission is typically required for new builds in Leeds. The process involves submitting detailed plans to the Leeds City Council for approval. Engaging with experienced professionals can help navigate the planning process effectively.
A self-build mortgage is a type of loan designed for individuals constructing their own homes. Unlike traditional mortgages, funds are released in stages as the build progresses. This approach helps manage cash flow throughout the construction process. Lenders will assess your project plans, budget, and experience before approval.
The timeline for building a new home can vary widely based on factors like project complexity, weather conditions, and contractor availability. On average, a self-build project in the UK may take between 6 to 12 months from ground-breaking to completion. Proper planning and project management are crucial to stay on schedule.
Yes, the UK government offers initiatives like the Help to Build scheme, which provides equity loans to eligible self-builders. Additionally, registering on the local self-build register can inform councils of demand, potentially influencing the availability of suitable plots. It's advisable to research current schemes and consult with financial advisors to explore available support.
