Construction Project Management For Your Self-Build Home

Full experienced project manager services for your self build project

Some of our fully managed ‘turn-key’ houses under construction

"It is lovely now but NEVER again!"

This is the most common response we get when we ask some of our clients, who have previously gone it alone and done a self-build, but didn't use a professional experienced company to fully manage the process for them.

They tell us that they totally underestimated the work involved and how much time and stress was involved in just chasing up people and businesses to "do what they say they are going to do & do it when they say they will do it".

Provided you have purchased your home through Cherish Homes, we can provide full project manager service for your self build home to make the process as easy and hands-off as possible.

Self-Build homes have a LOT of detail associated with them and it can be a bit daunting when considering the substantial number of things that you need to learn and get right when building a new home. Even with the exceptional turnkey service provided by Dan-Wood, our manufacturing partner, there are still many more things not provided by the builder as standard.

We therefore offer a fully hands-off project management service to wrap around your new home construction project making it simple and stress-free as possible.

The self-build project management service if the final aspect of the fully managed “turnkey” service offered by Cherish Homes. The other services are our self-build house design service, planning application service and the fixed-price house construction service.
