How HebHomes Works
At a glance
Your HebHome journey has six clear phases, from exploring designs to moving in. In the Members Area, these open into 11 practical stages with the relevant guides, checklists, documents and Deep Dive podcasts.
Explore
Stage 1 · Discover and Dream
Explore the five HebHomes ranges, completed homes and real client experiences. Consider the home, location and lifestyle that may suit you.
Plan
Stages 2–3 · Budget and Land
Set a realistic overall budget and assess potential plots carefully, including planning prospects, access, services and ground conditions.
Design and Approvals
Stages 4–6 · Design, Planning and Regulations
Choose the proven design that best fits your site, needs and budget. HebHomes then develops the agreed design for the required approvals.
Prepare
Stages 7–8 · Procurement and Site Preparation
Choose how the build will be delivered and appoint the right team. Your contractor prepares the foundations, utilities and site.
Build
Stages 9–10 · Supply, Erect and Complete
The precision-engineered kit is delivered and erected rapidly. Your contractor then coordinates the remaining construction and finishes.
Enjoy
Stage 11 · Move In and Enjoy
Complete handover, retain certificates and warranties, learn the controls and record any snags. Then enjoy your completed HebHome.

Common Questions
How long does the complete HebHome process take?
It depends on the site, approvals and contractor availability. Planning and technical approvals can each take several weeks or longer, procurement may take several months, and the on-site build commonly runs for approximately six to eight months.
How do the six phases relate to the Members Area?
They are a simple overview of the same journey. The free Members Area divides them into 11 detailed stages, each with actions, documents, guidance, links and a Deep Dive podcast.
Can project stages overlap to save time?
Yes, where the risks are understood and managed. Some technical design and procurement work can progress alongside approvals. Your project team should agree the appropriate sequence.
When should I appoint a Contract Administrator?
Before construction begins. The Contract Administrator administers the building contract, certifies valuations, records changes and helps manage completion and retention.
Who obtains planning and building approval?
That depends on your location and chosen service. In Scotland, HebHomes can manage applications through our Planning & Warrant service. Elsewhere, a suitable local consultant normally uses HebHomes information to obtain approvals.
When is the kit ordered and manufactured?
After the project reaches the required design, approval and contractual stage. Windows, engineering and production information are coordinated before manufacture. Your contract sets out the programme and staged payments.
Who completes the work after the kit is erected?
Your appointed main or affiliated contractor. The precise responsibilities depend on whether you choose Supply & Erect, Partial Turnkey or Full Turnkey.
