Why Finchley

Design and build means one team carries your home from first sketch to the day you move in — no gap between the people who draw it and the people who build it. An established family suburb of solid period homes, with steady demand for larger, modern replacements. In Finchley, Elizabeth Homes handles architecture, construction and interiors together, so the same eye and the same accountability run through the whole project.

Our process

One team, accountable
for the whole.

01.

Design

Working with our architects and engineers, we shape a home around your site and how you live — considered in plan, proportion and detail before a brick is laid.

02.

Build

We construct with our own trusted trades and a single point of accountability, choosing materials for how they age, not just how they look on a brochure.

03.

Interiors

Specification, styling and finishing are handled in-house — kitchens, joinery, finishes and detailing — so the rooms are as considered as the architecture. Interiors are part of our design and build, not an afterthought.

Common questions

Design & build in Finchley — your questions.

What does design and build include in Finchley?

Everything from initial design and planning through construction to interiors and handover — one team, one contract, one point of accountability. You don't have to coordinate a separate architect, builder and interior designer.

Do you include interior design?

Yes. Interiors are part of our design and build service — specification, styling and finishing are done in-house, so the home is delivered complete and coherent, not handed over as a shell.

Why choose design and build over hiring separately?

It removes the gaps where cost, time and accountability usually leak away. One team owning design, build and interiors means fewer surprises and a single person responsible for the result.

What if I want to use my own builder?

You don't have to hand us the whole build to get price certainty. As well as full design and build, we can act on your side — detailing and pricing the specification, tendering it, and helping you agree and hold a fixed or capped price with your own chosen contractor or on a self-build, then keeping cost under control as the job runs. Whichever route suits you, the aim is the same: a price you can trust from the outset.

How much does a design and build home cost in Finchley?

It depends on size and specification, but with the average home in Finchley around £715k, a well-run design and build can deliver better value than buying equivalent finished stock. We give a costed appraisal early.

Will you manage planning too?

Yes — we lead the strategy and manage the application through London Borough of Barnet, so design, planning and delivery are all under one roof.
