We design and build new houses and make old houses better.
Greenacre Building is a full service design and build company. We also offer specialist lime plastering, insulation services and energy-use modelling.
Sustainability is central to how we work. We use natural materials wherever possible and minimise the lifetime energy-use of your building through careful design and thoughtful construction.
Our eco design principals also prioritise the longevity of your home and the people in it. Buildings can have a surprisingly big impact on our health and happiness, which is why we always consider things like toxicity of building materials, indoor air quality, ventilation and natural light.
Eco design makes for happy houses - and happy houses make for happy home owners.
Design + Build
Whether you’re building a new house, retrofiting an old one or trying to deal with the complexities of upgrading a heritage property, we can help - from first designs through to completed construction.
New Build
It’s a dream isn’t it? Getting to design and build your own project. Congratulations - good luck. This is where the fun starts.
We can deliver every stage of your building project from first ideas through to completion with our end-to-end design and build service for new builds.
Retrofit
Old buildings: the charm – and the challenge. Right? Or maybe yours is all challenge and no charm, we know about those as well.
Our design and build service for retrofits can help you transform your existing property into a warm, low-energy, comfortable home.
Heritage
At Greenacre we’re specialists in dealing with old properties. We’ve worked on many period properties including those with listed building status.
We can help you assess your challenges, make a plan for how to proceed and then do the construction work ourselves.
Not everyone needs a full design and build package, so we also offer our specialist skills as stand alone services.
Our design team can help you with architectural plans, Passive House design, ‘ready for retrofit’ specifications as well as whole building energy-use assessment and design. Our construction team can help you with environmentally friendly insulation, specialist lime, clay and tadelakt plastering and rendering as well as other retrofit and renovation works.
