About Us

Larchmont Construction is a residential main contractor specialising in the refurbishment, new build and conservation of fine homes within a 90 minute radius of Bath.

The company was established to provide a disciplined, personal and highly capable approach to residential construction. We combine director level oversight, strong commercial control and practical site experience to give clients and design teams confidence from the earliest stages of a project.

Our backgrounds span site delivery, Quantity Surveying and Contracts Management, with experience delivering complex residential, commercial and heritage projects up to £20m in value. This gives Larchmont a clear understanding of how to manage quality, cost, programme and risk across the full project lifecycle.

We work closely with clients, architects, consultants and specialist trades from pre-construction through to completion, bringing clarity, care and control to complex residential projects.

Larchmont Construction is set up to provide a highly responsive and hands on service. We work closely with clients and professional teams throughout the lifecycle of a project, bringing practical construction knowledge, a collaborative mindset and a commitment to achieving the right outcome for both the brief and the building. Whether delivering a one off home, a listed building refurbishment or a high specification extension, we approach every project with the same level of diligence, thought and respect for the finished result.

 

We are particularly drawn to projects that require close coordination, thoughtful problem solving and a high standard of finish. This includes architect led residential work, heritage and conservation projects and homes where detailing, materials and execution matter. We value long term relationships and take pride in being dependable, solution focused and transparent in the way we work.

How We Work

Working with private clients, architects, consultants and design teams to deliver carefully considered homes with a strong focus on quality of execution, programme control and commercial discipline. Projects range from complex refurbishments and substantial extensions through to bespoke new build homes and the sensitive restoration of period and historic buildings.

Our approach is straightforward: build well, communicate clearly and manage every stage of the process properly. We understand that successful residential projects depend not only on craftsmanship, but on planning, coordination, cost awareness and trust. From pre-construction onwards, we place great importance on organisation, buildability, sequencing and attention to detail, helping ensure that each project is delivered with care and professionalism from start to finish.

"I recently worked with Miles for several years during his time at his previous firm.

The project involved the comprehensive refurbishment of large Grade 2 Star Country House in the Cotswolds for a Private Client.

It was a substantial and complex project incorporating many highly skilled trades.

Throughout the project Miles was professional, organised, knowledgeable and very good to work with. He communicated clearly, dealt with issues in a practical and collaborative way and showed strong attention to quality, detail and overall project delivery.

From my perspective as both Architect and Contract Administrator Miles brought sound judgement, calm leadership and a clear commitment to achieving the highest quality standards throughout the works. I would be very happy to recommend him based on our experience of working together and look forward to working with him again in future."

“Working with Miles was an excellent experience from start to finish. His professionalism, transparency and commitment to delivering a high quality result stood out throughout the project.

He maintained clear communication, provided thoughtful solutions when challenges arose and ensured every stage was managed efficiently. The attention to detail and pride in the work was reflected in the final outcome.

I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced contractor.”

“The Larchmont team demonstrated strong attention to detail and a genuine pride in their work which was reflected come the end of the project. The project was delivered to an exceptional standard and the entire process felt well organised and carefully managed. I now often recommend Miles and his team to anyone looking to carry out sensitive refurbishment works in listed buildings.”
