Site setup & groundworks
Preparing access and working areas, then forming foundations and below-ground work to the project information.
Ground-up construction · Regional service
New Builds
New homes and standalone buildings considered from approved drawings through structure, weatherproofing and finish.
The service
One connected build, planned in the right order.
A new building begins well before work starts on site. Approved drawings, building-regulations information, structural design, ground conditions, access, services and the required finish all shape the construction route.
SG Construction welcomes enquiries for new homes and standalone buildings across Somerset and surrounding areas. Each proposal is considered on its actual information and site constraints, with the scope agreed before construction is presented as ready to begin.
The featured photograph comes from the completed-work portfolio and demonstrates related structural, masonry, glazing and finishing experience. A dedicated new-build case study can be added when a verified project record is available.
Typical project scope
What a connected build can involve.
The final package follows the approved design and agreed responsibilities. Depending on the project, it can bring together these stages.
Structure
Building the specified walls, floors, frame and supporting elements in the correct sequence.
Weatherproof envelope
Progressing roofs, external walls, openings, windows and doors towards a secure, dry building.
Services coordination
Making room for the agreed mechanical and electrical routes at the correct construction stages.
Internal build-up
Completing insulation, linings, partitions, floors and connected internal construction to specification.
Finishes & external interfaces
Bringing together final surfaces, access, levels and the immediate areas around the new building where agreed.
Before construction
Resolve the important information before pricing the build.
Clear documents reduce assumptions, expose missing decisions and make the programme more realistic.
Permissions
Planning conditions, building-control route and any other site-specific consents should be understood before work begins.
Design responsibility
Identify who is providing architectural, structural and specialist details, and how design changes will be controlled.
Ground & drainage
Ground conditions, levels, drainage routes and utility connections can materially affect sequence and cost.
Specification
Windows, finishes, heating, electrical needs and other key selections should be developed far enough to define the expected result.
A practical route
From approved information to handover.
Every new build is different, but a clear sequence keeps decisions and responsibilities visible.
Share the pack
Send the site details, approvals, drawings, structural information and intended specification.
Review the site
Discuss access, levels, services, neighbouring constraints and the practical construction sequence.
Define the package
Agree inclusions, exclusions, design responsibilities, decisions still required and programme assumptions.
Build in stages
Progress through groundworks, structure, envelope and internal work with the required inspections.
Complete & review
Close out agreed items and assemble the relevant completion information for the project team.

Useful answers before you enquire.
What information should I have before making contact?
Send the site location, approved drawings if available, planning status, structural and building-regulations information, intended specification and your target timing.
Can I enquire while drawings are still being prepared?
Yes. Be clear about the current design stage and which decisions remain open. A build-ready scope cannot be confirmed until the necessary information is available.
Do new builds need planning permission and building control?
New buildings normally require the relevant planning and building-regulations routes. Your appointed designer or planning adviser should confirm the requirements for the exact site and proposal.
Can SG Construction price from planning drawings alone?
Planning drawings may not contain enough construction detail for a firm scope. Structural design, building-regulations information and a developed specification are commonly needed.
Where can I see relevant construction experience?
The linked portfolio shows complete transformations, extensions, structural work and masonry projects. A dedicated new-build case study can be added when a verified project record is available.
