New builds are one of the most ambitious yet rewarding undertakings a homeowner or investor can embark upon. From maximising square footage and energy efficiency to creating a bespoke living environment that reflects your personal style, new builds offer a blank canvas with endless potential. However, with opportunity comes complexity — from planning permissions and design revisions to the coordination of multiple trades.

That’s where Vector Living comes in.

Why Choose Vector Living for Your New Build?

Founded in 2014, Vector Living is a residential construction and project management company operating across London, Surrey, and Hampshire. What sets us apart isn’t just the breadth of our services, but our ability to deliver high-end results without the high-end price tag. Through value engineering and dedicated project management, we help our clients realise their dream homes efficiently, cost-effectively, and without compromise on quality.

Our approach is perfect for individuals and families who are cash-rich but time-poor. Many of our clients live abroad and rely on us to oversee every aspect of their new build in the UK. Whether you’re investing in a bespoke five-bedroom high-tech home in Hampshire or enhancing property value in Richmond, Vector Living ensures your investment is handled with the utmost care.

What Makes a New Build “Smarter”?

Smart doesn’t always mean high-tech. At Vector Living, we define a smart new build as one that is designed, priced, and delivered with intention, foresight, and expert execution.

Premium Design: We begin by refining your architectural plans, helping to maximise space, improve energy performance, and align aesthetic preferences with structural practicality.

Planning Without the Pain: Navigating local planning authorities can be challenging. With deep local knowledge, especially across London, Surrey, and Hampshire, we anticipate issues, ensure timely submissions, and handle all approvals.

Contractor Clarity: We maintain long-standing relationships with fully qualified and certified tradespeople, each selected for their craftsmanship and professionalism. We match the right team to the size and scope of your build.

Efficient Implementation: Changes happen. Whether it’s a finish update or layout tweak, our project managers are agile problem-solvers, keeping things on track without delay or cost overruns.

Guaranteed Delivery: From structural compliance to aesthetic finish, we ensure everything meets (or exceeds) expectations — on time and on budget.

This process is underpinned by our project managers, who serve as your single point of contact throughout. This streamlined communication prevents delays, confusion, and stress.

Value Engineering: Luxury Without the Excess

At Vector Living, our goal is not just to build well, but to build smart. Value engineering means identifying alternative solutions that provide the same function and finish but at a reduced cost. For example, selecting a cost-effective yet durable structural material or reconfiguring a layout to reduce steelwork without compromising space.

This meticulous attention to both detail and cost is only possible with experience. Our project managers and trade partners understand where savings can be made — and where corners should never be cut. It’s this balance of value and quality that allows us to deliver high-specification homes for a fraction of the expected cost.

Fully Insured, Fully Assured

Vector Living is fully insured with Contractors All Risks Insurance, including £5 million Public Liability and £10 million Employers Liability. All our work is covered by a limited defects warranty, ensuring peace of mind well after project handover.

Clients regularly return for future work or refer us to friends and family. Why? Because our reputation is built on reliability, quality, and transparency.

A Recent Project Spotlight: Surrey New Build

One of our recent standout projects was a new build home in Surrey. Featuring a high-end Italian finish, vaulted ceilings, and full landscaping works, the project was managed end-to-end by Vector Living.

As our client described it:

“We could not have asked for a more committed and knowledgeable team. Every stage was handled with care and clarity. Being based abroad, we relied heavily on Vector to manage everything – and they did not disappoint.”
