The Benefits of Choosing Local Builders for Colchester New Builds

As Colchester expands and a variety of Colchester new builds are being developed by some of the national firms, we feel it’s time for local Colchester builders to get involved. With complete knowledge of the area and a large amount of experience, we’re able to navigate, plan, and build smoothly with few delays. 

So why should we be chosen to develop Colchester’s new builds? 

Well, we’ve developed a list of the benefits of choosing local builders for Colchester new builds (you don’t have to take our word for it – check out our West Bergholt Surgery case study).

1. Knowledge of Local Planning Laws 

 A huge benefit of choosing local builders for Colchester new builds is that we have a deep knowledge of the local planning laws and processes. At Kendall FM, we’ve been working in the area for over a decade, navigating the specific planning regulations and efficiently gaining approvals with little to no delays. With an understanding of specific conservation zones and heritage sites, we are able to create better planning permission designs for a higher chance of success. 

This means that getting us on the case for the Colchester new builds allows for fewer delays and faster approvals. 

2. Strong Network of Local Suppliers and Trades 

Having a strong connection to Colchester and being situated in the area, we have developed a long list of local suppliers and trades through consistent networking and experience. This can be a major benefit in developing the Colchester new builds by using trusted local suppliers for consistent quality and reliability. 

These can equate to cost efficiencies and savings through having reduced material lead times, shorter travel times, and faster responses. These factors are able to create a smoother process in gaining materials than a larger, non-localised company would have. 

3. Personalised Service

As local builders, our reputation matters, not only for business reasons but also for our own peace of mind. We care in a way a larger company can’t about every single service we offer, whether a quick home adaptation or the Colchester new builds. 

With this hands-on approach comes quicker communication and a reliable set of Colchester builders who are ready to listen and create as close to your brief as possible. 

4. Understanding Local Styles and Environmental Needs 

As local Colchester builders, we have a deep knowledge of the Colchester area that a bigger outsourced company may not have. With this comes the knowledge of traditional and architectural styles that Colchester homes typically have, so that the Colchester new builds won’t look out of place. We have an understanding of the traditional finishes and the local materials that the Colchester new builds require. 

Not only this, but our company has a strong appreciation for the Colchester area; it is not just someone’s future home but also our home, and we love it just as much as the community. We understand the environmental needs that should be taken into consideration and are more in tune with sustainable building practices that are required by the council and admired by the community. 

5. Stronger Communication 

Being localised to the area means that, alongside fast response times, we’re able to travel to the site relatively quickly, in the event of any unexpected issues. We are also able to provide more frequent site visits and face-to-face meetings, and issues that normally take days to escalate through layers of management can take minutes to sort by a local team. 

Why You Should Choose Us For Your Local Colchester Builds
