Building a new home should be exciting, not stressful. At Ashcroft Building & Construction, we offer a full turnkey service so every stage of the project is handled for you, from first sketches to the final keys. Below, we explain how our turnkey approach works, the benefits of working with an experienced contractor for your new home in Essex, and what you can expect at each step. With Ashcroft managing the details, you can focus on the home you want while we deliver it on time and to the standard you expect.
What is Ashcroft’s Full Turnkey Build Process for New Homes in Essex?
Our full turnkey process is designed to remove the uncertainty from building. We cover every phase of the project so you receive a finished, move-in-ready home. That means we coordinate design, planning, construction and finishes, taking responsibility for quality, schedules and communications so you don’t have to.
Which stages are included in Ashcroft’s turnkey home construction?
Our turnkey build typically follows four clear stages:
- Design Phase: We work with you to develop a tailored design that fits your needs, budget and site.
- Planning Phase: We manage planning applications and approvals to keep the project compliant and on track.
- Construction Phase: Our team delivers the build to the approved plans, with regular progress updates and site supervision.
- Finishing Phase: We complete internal finishes, fixtures and external landscaping so the property is ready to occupy.
Together, these stages ensure the final home reflects your brief and meets the standards we promise.
How does Ashcroft manage the design, planning, and construction phases?
Ashcroft uses a dedicated project management team to coordinate every stage of the construction process. We apply proven project controls and clear reporting so milestones are met and quality is checked throughout. Close collaboration with clients and consultants keeps decisions timely and transparent, and our on-site quality checks ensure the finished home matches the specification.
Good turnkey project delivery depends on robust contingency planning, a point reinforced by recent research in the field.

Quality assurance is built into our process. We carry out regular inspections, record workmanship checks and use trusted suppliers so every home meets our standards before handover.
What does the NHBC and LABC 10-year warranty cover for Ashcroft homes?
Many Ashcroft homes are eligible for a 10‑year NHBC warranty that covers relevant structural defects; some projects may alternatively use the LABC Warranty, which provides similar 10‑year structural protection. The chosen warranty depends on the project, but both schemes are designed to give homeowners long‑term peace of mind.
Warranty schemes play an important role in reducing consumer risk and improving industry standards, which is why they are widely adopted.
