Origin Custom Homes

Origin Custom Homes is an in-house residential design-and-build company working on extensions, new-build developments and flat conversions. It serves homeowners and developers, and describes work ranging from creating a personal home to helping a developer maximise a site’s investment. The company works in Greater London and the Home Counties.

Its process can include residential design and planning, project management and construction. Customers can start with an on-site consultation and receive a fixed-price quote. For clients who have chosen another builder, the company also offers project-management consultancy to maintain design involvement and oversee the execution of the plan.

Construction work is covered by a JCT contract, and the company says it takes no deposits and invoices work in arrears. It gives fixed-price quotations based on agreed final plans and advises clients to allow a contingency for changes. New builds are covered by a 10-year NHBC warranty, with six-year cover for structural issues and roof leaks.
