What we build

Two ways we build — both on an open book.

The Practice

One office, accountable for the whole.

Most houses of scale are assembled by many parties — each accountable for a fragment, none for the result. My Home Builders exists to hold the centre: a boutique construction-management practice, personally directed, engaged on a small number of private homes at any one time.

About the practice

The Model

Your name on every contract.

Under the agency model you hold each trade contract directly; the practice holds none and takes no margin on the work. We have nothing to protect except the quality of your house and the discipline of its budget.

How the model works

A conventional general contractThe open-book model
One price — the margin hidden insideEvery invoice in your name, nothing marked up
Work handed to a preferred subEvery scope competitively tendered
Changes buried in the totalNothing proceeds without your written approval
Their contracts, warranties and tax positionAll of it yours to keep

In their words

From the clients we build for.

Client references are available on request.

An initial conversation carries no obligation.

The practice accepts no more than two new homes a year, ensuring the principal's direct involvement throughout. New engagements are most often made by introduction.
