New Build Homes in Shenfield: Local Knowledge
Shenfield sits on the north-eastern side of Brentwood, next door to our base in Hutton. Its station on the Great Eastern Main Line is the eastern terminus of the Elizabeth line, which has made the area popular with families and commuters. That’s why replacement dwellings, extensions and garden projects are common here. Planning applications in Shenfield go to Brentwood Borough Council, and Essex Highways looks after the roads and footways.
Our office in Hutton is around 1 mile from Shenfield as the crow flies, so we are close at hand for site visits and while your project is on site. We also work regularly in nearby Hutton, Hutton Mount and Ingrave.
Planning & approvals in Shenfield
Shenfield is in the CM15 postcode area, and planning applications and building control for projects here are handled by Brentwood Borough Council. We work alongside you, your architect and the council from the start, so the right approvals are in place before work begins. Essex Highways looks after the roads and footways, which matters for anything that affects the public highway, such as skips, deliveries, drainage connections or a dropped kerb.
Why use a local builder?
Being based in Hutton means we know the ground conditions, councils and suppliers around Shenfield. You deal directly with Mark or Tom Boswell, who can visit your property, talk through your plans and give you an honest quotation.
Self build homes
Self Build Homes in Shenfield
Building your own home is hugely rewarding, but it helps to have an experienced builder on your side. Whether you have bought a plot, have planning for a replacement dwelling or are still at the design stage, we can help you turn your plans into a finished home.
Every self builder is different, so we work the way that suits you — taking on the whole build, or delivering the stages you would rather leave to a professional while you manage the rest.
Full build
We manage and build the whole project for you — groundworks, structure, roofing and finishes — with one point of contact and one programme from start to finish.
Stage by stage
Prefer to stay hands-on? We can take on specific stages such as groundworks and foundations, brickwork or the structural shell, leaving you to complete the rest.
