New Build Homes
in Aberdeen.
Bespoke one-off houses built plot to completion across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Family-run for over 20 years, working alongside your architect and engineer, with the building warrant managed for you and the finish your home deserves.
Bespoke new build homes,
built to last in the North East.
Building your own home is the most personal project most families will ever take on, and it deserves a builder who treats it that way. For over 20 years, Granite Builders has delivered new build homes across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, from a single one-off house on a private plot to a self-build that a family has dreamed about for years. We bring the same care, accountability and local knowledge to every project, no matter the size.
We are a family-run firm, not a faceless contractor. As Federation of Master Builders members and a TrustMark registered business, we have been independently vetted against a Government-endorsed standard, so the quality you are promised is the quality you receive. From groundworks on a plot near Inverurie to the completion certificate on a finished home in Stonehaven or Banchory, one team looks after your build from start to finish, and one project manager keeps you informed at every stage.
If you are searching for new build homes Aberdeen homeowners can rely on, you want a builder who understands the granite, the ground conditions and the way Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Council handle building warrants. That regional knowledge is what keeps a build on programme and a budget where it should be. We work in traditional masonry and modern timber-frame approaches, coordinate closely with architects and structural engineers, and manage the warrant and completion certificate on your behalf so you can enjoy the journey rather than chase the paperwork.
One firm for the whole build,
from bare plot to finished home.
One-Off Bespoke Houses
Individual family homes designed around how you live, built to your specification rather than a developer template.
Plot to Completion
Groundworks, foundations, structure, services and finishing, all delivered and coordinated by one accountable team.
Masonry & Timber Frame
Traditional blockwork and granite detailing, or a modern timber-frame build, whichever suits your design and plot.
Self-Build Support
Take on the whole build, or have us deliver the part you would rather not manage yourself, from shell to handover.
What a full build includes. When we take a new build from plot to completion, our scope typically covers site setup and groundworks, foundations and drainage, the superstructure in masonry or timber frame, roofing, windows and external doors, first and second fix services, insulation and airtightness, plastering, internal finishing and decoration, and building control liaison through to the completion certificate. We confirm exactly what sits inside your contract and what is supplied separately, such as kitchens, specialist finishes and landscaping, so there is no confusion later. Coordination with your architect, structural engineer and warranty provider is built into the way we work, not added on at the end.
The difference is who stays accountable.
Local Ground Knowledge
Two decades building in the North East means we understand the granite, the ground conditions and the weather. That knowledge shapes foundations, drainage and detailing from day one.
Accredited, Not Just Insured
Federation of Master Builders membership and TrustMark registration mean we have been independently vetted against a Government-endorsed standard. These are not labels we gave ourselves.
One Point of Contact
From the first site meeting to the completion certificate, one project manager coordinates your architect, engineer and trades, and keeps you informed. No chasing, no being passed around.
No Surprises
We price in writing, in detail, and we do not start work we have not agreed. If a site condition appears below ground, you hear it before we act, not after.

How much does a new build
cost in Aberdeenshire?
A bespoke house is never an off the shelf number, because no two plots or designs are the same. Rather than invent a figure, we explain what shapes the cost and give you a clear, tailored quotation once we understand your plot and your plans.
How we price a new build. Your cost depends on the footprint and number of storeys, the specification and finishes you choose, the ground and access conditions on your plot, and whether you build in masonry or timber frame. We provide a detailed written quotation free of charge after a site survey, with a clear schedule of what is included and what is supplied separately. Indicative only, subject to a site survey, and exclude VAT. Professional fees for your architect, engineer and warranty provider sit outside our build contract where they apply.
The question every self-builder asks first.
A new build is a longer journey than an extension, and honesty matters. Here is an indicative guide once construction begins on site. We confirm a programme for your specific house at quote stage, and we hold to it.
Timescales assume your building warrant is already approved. In Scotland a new build needs a building warrant from Aberdeen City or Aberdeenshire Council before work starts, and a completion certificate once the home is finished, so allow additional time for processing. We manage the warrant and completion certificate on your behalf and keep you updated at every step. Indicative only, subject to a site survey, and exclude VAT.
Your money and your home,
protected at every stage.
Protected for years
Through our TrustMark registration, your build can be covered by an Insurance Backed Guarantee, so your investment is protected even in the unlikely event we could not return to put something right. Ask us for full details.
We stand behind it
Our work is covered by a written workmanship guarantee. If a covered defect appears after handover, we come back and fix it. No arguments, no fuss.
Contracts on every build
We carry public liability insurance and work to a written contract on every project, so everyone knows exactly what was agreed and where responsibility sits.
Pay as work is done
You pay to a written schedule tied to agreed milestones, only for work that is completed and inspected. For a larger build, we can introduce a regulated finance provider so you can spread the cost.
From your first call to the completion certificate.
Site Visit & Quote
We visit your plot, listen to your plans, review your drawings if you have them, and produce a detailed written quotation. No ballpark figures, and no obligation to go ahead.
Design & Building Warrant
We coordinate with your architect and structural engineer, then prepare and submit the building warrant to Aberdeen City or Aberdeenshire Council, keeping you updated throughout.
The Build
One team, managed by your project manager, works to an agreed programme from groundworks to finishing. The site is kept tidy and you always know what is happening next.
Completion & Handover
We finish, arrange the completion certificate, walk you through your new home, deal with any snags, and back the build with a written guarantee. We do not disappear once the invoice is paid.

A family builder Aberdeen has trusted for over 20 years.
Granite Builders has been part of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire for over two decades. We are a family-run business, which means our reputation is personal. It is built one home at a time, and we intend to keep it that way.
We know this region. We know the granite, the ground conditions, the weather and the way Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Council handle building warrants and completion certificates. That local knowledge is what keeps a new build on schedule and a budget where it should be. From a single bespoke house on the edge of the city to a self-build out in the shire, we bring the same care to every project, and we are proud Federation of Master Builders members and TrustMark registered because those standards matter to the people who trust us with their homes.
New build homes across Aberdeen
and Aberdeenshire.
We take on plots right across the city and the shire. From the West End of Aberdeen to Stonehaven, Inverurie, Banchory and beyond, if your plot is in the North East, we can help. Not sure we cover your area? Just ask.
Frequently asked questions.
Yes. Individual one-off homes are exactly what we do. Rather than a developer template, we build a house designed around how your family lives, working from your architect's drawings or helping you appoint one. Whether you prefer traditional masonry with granite detailing or a modern timber-frame approach, we deliver the whole build plot to completion across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Absolutely. If you have secured a plot, we will visit it, review access and ground conditions, and talk through your plans and budget. We then coordinate with your architect and structural engineer, prepare the building warrant, and build your home from groundworks through to the completion certificate. If you are still searching for a plot, we are happy to share what to look for from a buildability point of view.
A bespoke house is priced individually, because the cost depends on the footprint and storeys, the specification and finishes, the ground and access on your plot, and whether you build in masonry or timber frame. Rather than quote a figure that would not fit your project, we provide a detailed written quotation free of charge after a site survey. Our pricing is indicative only, subject to a site survey, and excludes VAT.
As a guide, a typical new build takes around 9 to 14 months on site, depending on size and specification, moving from groundworks to a watertight shell and on to fit-out and finishing. This assumes your building warrant is already approved, so allow additional time for processing. We confirm a clear programme for your specific home before work begins and keep you updated throughout. Timescales are indicative only, subject to a site survey, and exclude VAT.
Yes. In Scotland a new build needs a building warrant from Aberdeen City or Aberdeenshire Council before work starts, and a completion certificate once the home is finished. We prepare and submit the warrant application, liaise with building control throughout the build, and arrange the completion certificate at the end, so you are not left navigating the paperwork yourself.
Yes. Many self-builders want to take on parts of the journey themselves while leaving the heavier or more technical work to an accredited firm. We can deliver a defined package, for example groundworks and foundations, or the full structure through to a wind and watertight shell, priced clearly to scope. Tell us how much you want to manage, and we will shape our involvement around it.
