Residential Construction Projects

An introduction to Quastels for Residential Construction

We bring a balanced and pragmatic approach to your residential construction projects, and advise on developments ranging from extensions of existing properties to residential palace builds. We act frequently for high-net worth individuals and high-profile families in the construction of their family homes.

We advise frequently on commercial to residential conversions as well as residential new builds, and help procure the new home warranties necessary to protect your asset. We work closely with you and your professional team to agree construction contract forms which will be appropriate for your specific project, and which help – not hinder – your development.

If you are buying a property which has recently been renovated, built or extended, we can also assist by reviewing the construction packages on offer to ensure that your property is adequately safeguarded.

From advising on your acquisition, to providing sensible and cost-effective dispute resolutions, we partner with our clients in this process and help them to bring to life their vision. Your build is personal, and we treat it as such.
