Services
New Builds
Bellco Construction specialises in creating bespoke new build homes from concept to completion. Our services include site feasibility studies, architectural design, planning submissions, and full project management. We incorporate sustainable building practices and modern construction techniques while maintaining traditional craftsmanship standards. Each project receives a 10-year warranty with comprehensive insurance coverage throughout the build process. Our team manages all aspects including utility connections, foundations, and interior finishes to create energy-efficient, future-ready homes tailored to client specifications.
Home Extensions
We deliver seamless home extensions that maximise living space and property value. Our process begins with collaborative design consultation to understand client needs and spatial requirements. Specialising in kitchen-dining expansions, we remove structural barriers to create open-plan living areas with optimal natural light integration. The team manages all regulatory requirements including planning permissions and building control compliance. Projects include full utility reconfigurations, structural reinforcements, and premium finish installations while maintaining minimal disruption to existing household routines throughout the construction phase.
Smart Home Integration
Our smart home solutions create fully connected living environments with integrated control systems. We install advanced automation platforms that manage lighting, climate, security, and entertainment systems through unified mobile applications. The technology includes remote access features for property monitoring, energy-efficient climate control, and automated security protocols. Our installations support voice-activated controls and customised scene settings for enhanced convenience. All systems are future-proofed for technology upgrades while maintaining intuitive user interfaces for seamless daily operation.
Design & Planning
We provide comprehensive design and planning services to ensure project success from inception. Our architects create detailed technical drawings that align with client visions and budgetary parameters. The process includes planning permission applications, building regulation compliance documentation, and structural engineering coordination. We facilitate accurate cost estimations through precise architectural plans and manage revisions to accommodate client feedback. Our team also arranges necessary specialist consultations to guarantee all technical requirements are met before construction commencement.
Garage Conversions
Our garage conversion service transforms underutilised spaces into functional living areas. We assess structural integrity and create adaptable designs for home offices, guest rooms, or recreational spaces. The process includes insulation upgrades, electrical rewiring, and installation of appropriate ventilation systems. We maintain compliance with building regulations while optimising space efficiency and natural light integration. Each conversion receives the same quality standards as primary construction projects with full warranty coverage upon completion.
