Meare, Somerset

Four new homes in an orchard setting

Feasibility proposal · March 2024

A Dualchas feasibility study explores four new HebHomes alongside existing buildings within a former orchard. A shared arrival courtyard, retained mature landscaping and private gardens create a coordinated setting, with forms and materials informed by the local agricultural character.

The practical advantages of building together

Less duplicated design work

Reusing and adapting established house types can reduce repeated design work, while allowing for site-specific requirements.

Coordinated specifications and purchasing

Common specifications create opportunities to coordinate purchasing across several homes.

Planned manufacture and erection

A coordinated programme can align kit manufacture, deliveries and erection with the development sequence.

Delivery in phases

Explore a phased approach suited to the site, approvals and intended delivery programme.

A choice of house types

Combine complementary HebHomes designs to create variety within a coherent architectural character.

See how individual buildings become a place

These proposals show how adaptable HebHomes designs, landscape and shared spaces can be planned together.

Consider site constraints, masterplanning and an appropriate house mix.
Define cost and delivery
Agree specifications, appointments, responsibilities and potential phasing.
Progress design and approvals
Develop the architectural and technical work required for the scheme.

Your development questions

Can I buy several HebHomes for one site?

Yes. HebHomes can coordinate structural kit supply and erection for multiple houses in a development. Tell us about your site, intended use and approximate number of homes so we can discuss the appropriate scope.

Can different house types be combined?

Yes. Complementary house types and sizes can be combined, with any adaptations agreed to suit the site and overall scheme.

Can Dualchas prepare a feasibility study or masterplan?

Yes. Dualchas Architects can discuss site appraisal, feasibility and masterplanning services. The appointment and scope are agreed for your project.

Can I use my existing architect?

Yes. We welcome clients working with their own architect or an existing masterplan, and can discuss how HebHomes designs and kit delivery fit the scheme.

Can a development be delivered in phases?

Potential phasing can be discussed alongside the wider programme. Kit scope, manufacture, delivery and erection arrangements are agreed for each project.

How are multiple-home projects priced?

Pricing is project-specific and depends on house mix, specification, adaptations, site conditions and delivery arrangements. We discuss the requirements before agreeing a quotation; bulk discounts are not assumed.
