Why BUILT in Gloucestershire

## A contractor with the capacity to deliver
Being based on the Herefordshire–Gloucestershire border gives us easy reach into the west of the county, and our 25-strong team has the capacity for large projects anywhere in it.

On many projects in Gloucestershire, the biggest risk isn&#x27;t the building itself but the gaps between trades. When groundworkers, bricklayers, roofers, carpenters and fitters are booked separately, each delay pushes the next trade back, and responsibility for problems becomes unclear. BUILT keeps those trades in-house: our 25 tradespeople cover structure, roofing, carpentry, kitchens and bathrooms, supported by 4 office staff who plan the programme. That means one point of contact for your Gloucestershire project, one company accountable for the result, and fortnightly invoices tied to work actually completed rather than an upfront deposit.

- 25 years of trade experience, three generations of builders
- 25 tradespeople on the tools and 4 office staff
- CHAS accredited, £10M public and employers&#x27; liability insurance
- No upfront deposit: invoiced fortnightly for completed work
- 10-year warranty on new build houses, 1 year on other work
- Free site survey on properties you already own

Local building challenges

## What to plan for when building in Gloucestershire

### Property types
Stone and solid-walled buildings need breathable materials. Many villages have conservation areas and listed buildings that restrict alterations and materials.

### Climate and flooding
The River Severn and its tributaries flood across the vale, including around Gloucester and Tewkesbury. Flood risk shapes design and planning on many sites.

### Infrastructure and access
Rural properties often rely on private drainage, and narrow lanes limit access. Parts of the Cotswolds are a protected National Landscape with stricter planning.

### Building age
Many buildings are centuries old, from medieval timber frames to Georgian and Regency houses, and need careful survey before work begins.

Planning in Gloucestershire

## Planning and regulations
Gloucestershire has several district councils handling planning, including Gloucester City, Cheltenham Borough, Tewkesbury Borough, Stroud, Cotswold and the Forest of Dean. Protected landscapes, conservation areas and flood zones in the Severn Vale all affect what&#x27;s achievable.

Typical projects

## Projects we take on in Gloucestershire
Typical Gloucestershire projects include barn conversions in the Severn Vale, extensions in Gloucester and Cheltenham, garage conversions in the Forest of Dean, and steel-frame buildings for rural and commercial clients.

### Local materials and character
Gloucestershire ranges from Cotswold limestone and stone slates in the east to brick in the Severn Vale and sandstone in the Forest of Dean. The right material depends heavily on where in the county you are and what planners expect.

- Know roughly what you want to achieve and what you&#x27;d like to spend; we&#x27;ll tell you honestly what&#x27;s realistic in Gloucestershire.
- Check whether your property is listed, in a conservation area or a flood zone; if you&#x27;re unsure, we&#x27;ll check at survey.
- Gather any existing drawings, planning consents or surveys you already have.
- Think about access for vehicles, skips and scaffolding, especially on narrow streets or rural lanes.
- Ask any contractor about deposits, insurance and warranties before signing. Ours: no deposit, £10M insured, 10-year new build and 1-year standard warranties.
