Professional New Build Homes Services in Kent
Building a new home in Kent from the ground up is one of the biggest projects you'll ever take on — and Carey Brothers & Sons has spent over 20 years getting it right. We build bespoke new build homes across Kent and the Southeast, from foundations to finishing touches, combining exceptional craft, energy-efficient construction, and the kind of project management that means deadlines get hit and your build stays on budget.
Our new build homes range from compact family houses to substantial country properties. We work hand-in-glove with architects, structural engineers, and planners to make sure every detail of your new home — Kentish ragstone, traditional peg tiles, contemporary glazing, modern MVHR — comes together exactly as you imagined. From foundations and timber or steel frames to roofing, first and second fix services, plastering and finishing, we manage the entire build. We understand Kent ground conditions (heavy clay, chalk, ragstone), the latest Part L energy regulations, and the local planning authorities — Tonbridge & Malling, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone — which means fewer surprises and faster approvals.
Successful new build homes need three things: meticulous planning, expert project management, and honest communication. We start with a detailed consultation to understand your brief, budget, and timeline. We help with design development, planning applications, and building regulations approval — and we'll flag anything that could push the cost or timescale before it does. During construction, you get a single point of contact, regular progress reports with photos, and transparent pricing with no hidden costs. We build to exacting standards using quality materials and proven construction methods, so your new home doesn't just look right on handover day — it performs beautifully for the next 50 years.

2How long does it take to build a new home in Kent?
A typical new build home in Kent takes 12–18 months from breaking ground to completion. This includes site preparation, foundations, structural work, first fix services, second fix, and finishing. Timelines vary based on house size, complexity, ground conditions, and weather. We provide a detailed build programme during the quotation stage so you know exactly what to expect.
3Do you handle planning permission and building regulations?
Yes, we guide you through the entire process. Whilst we work with architects for design, we assist with planning applications, liaise with planning officers, ensure building regulations compliance, and manage all inspections. Our experience with Kent planning authorities means we understand local requirements and can navigate the process efficiently.
4What guarantees do you provide for new builds?
We provide a comprehensive 12-month defects period covering all workmanship and materials. All structural work is guaranteed for 10 years. We use quality materials from reputable suppliers who provide their own warranties. Additionally, we can arrange NHBC warranty or similar structural insurance if required.
5Can you work with our architect's designs?
Absolutely. We regularly work with clients' chosen architects and can also recommend experienced local architects if needed. We review designs for buildability and cost-effectiveness, providing value engineering suggestions where appropriate. Our collaborative approach ensures the final build matches your vision whilst remaining practical and cost-efficient.
