What does it cost
Real numbers. No surprises.
Most families building a new home in Sutton Coldfield spend between £70,000 and £250,000 on the build itself — depending on size, specification, and complexity. Here are real project costs from builds we've completed in the last 18 months.
Project 1:
3-bedroom new build · Sutton Coldfield
1,400 sq ft · £187,000 · 34 weeks
Project 2:
4-bedroom new build · Four Oaks
1,850 sq ft · £247,000 · 42 weeks
Project 3:
5-bedroom new build · Streetly
2,400 sq ft · £312,000 · 52 weeks
What drives cost up:
High-specification kitchens and bathrooms, underfloor heating throughout, bi-fold doors, structural steel, basements, and complex rooflines all add meaningfully to the budget.
What drives cost down:
A simple rectangular footprint, standard roof pitch, decisions made early rather than changed mid-build.
The number most people forget:
Professional fees — architect, structural engineer, planning application, building regulations — typically add 8–12% on top of the build cost. Budget for it from day one.
Peace of mind built in.
