New Build Homes in Leigh-on-Sea

SET Building & Brickwork builds new homes in Leigh-on-Sea and the surrounding parts of Essex. Nearby, we have worked on a bungalow in Benfleet and put a roof structure up on steels in Hadleigh. We price every job after visiting the property rather than over the phone.

Working with you

Your dream home, built the way you want it

We work with you from the first sketch, through planning and the drawings, to the day you move in. SET Building & Brickwork has over 15 years in the trade, and we share what we know as the design comes together, so the house you get is the house you had in mind.

Planning rules in Leigh-on-Sea

Planning applications in Leigh-on-Sea go to Southend-on-Sea City Council. Leigh has four conservation areas: Leigh Old Town, Leigh, Leigh Cliff and Chapmanslord. In Leigh Old Town and on roads such as Queens Road and Seaview Road, changing the front windows or re-roofing in a different material needs planning permission.

Some jobs need a full application and some fall under permitted development. We tell you which applies before you pay for drawings, build to your architect's and structural engineer's drawings, and book the building control inspections.

What a new build costs

Every job prices differently. The property, the specification and what we find on site all matter, which is why we visit in person before quoting rather than giving a figure over the phone.

Questions about new build homes

Do you build to our architect's drawings?

Yes. We build to approved drawings and the structural engineer's design, and we work with your design team through the project.

Can you build just the shell?

Yes. Some clients want a weathertight shell and complete the internal work themselves. We agree the scope in writing at the start so it is clear what is included.
