Design & Build in Reigate
Design and build is a project delivery approach where one contractor is responsible for both developing the design and constructing the project, giving the client a single point of accountability for cost, programme and quality rather than coordinating separate designers and contractors.
In Reigate, that covers Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley. Reigate sits at the foot of the North Downs, with a historic town centre and a number of well-established residential areas featuring substantial Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses. Its position near the Surrey Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB) shapes planning policy for parts of the borough.

Property styles in Reigate
Reigate has a strong stock of larger detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian houses, along with mock-Tudor interwar properties, many of which suit generously proportioned rear and wraparound extensions or double-storey additions.
Planning considerations
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre is a conservation area, and parts of the borough fall within the Surrey Hills National Landscape (National Landscape, formerly AONB), which brings additional design and landscape considerations for extensions and new structures.

FAQs
Design & Build in Reigate: FAQs
Do you provide design & build across all of Reigate?
Yes, we cover the RH2 postcode area in full, including Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley.
What is the difference between design and build and a traditional contract?
In a traditional route, you appoint an architect who designs the project and administers a separate contract with a builder. In design and build, one contractor is responsible for both the design development and the construction, giving a single point of accountability for cost and programme.
Do I still get an architect-quality design under design and build?
Yes. Design and build does not mean a lesser design service — it means the design and construction responsibility sits with one team. We work with qualified designers and, where useful, can introduce you to independent architects within the design-and-build process.
Does the Surrey Hills National Landscape designation affect extensions in Reigate?
For properties within the designated area, additional weight is given to landscape character and visual impact in planning decisions. We check whether your property falls within the boundary during feasibility.
