What is the process for building a custom home with Mosaic Bespoke?

How do you ensure the energy efficiency of the homes you build?

We emphasise sustainable building practices, using high-quality insulation and airtight construction methods. Our homes are designed to retain heat and minimise energy consumption. We also offer advanced heating solutions like warm water underfloor heating and air source heat pumps.

Why should I consider warm water underfloor heating for my new home?

Warm water underfloor heating provides consistent, gentle warmth and is highly energy-efficient. It operates at lower temperatures than traditional radiators, making it cost-effective over time. This system is best installed during the build phase for optimal performance and comfort.

What are the benefits of using air-source heat pumps in new builds?

Air source heat pumps are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and provide both heating and cooling. They work best in well-insulated, airtight homes, which is why we recommend integrating them into new builds. Our partnership with Mitsubishi ensures top-tier performance and a five-year warranty with accredited installation.

We provide a clear breakdown of all costs at the start of the project, ensuring there are no surprises. Our bespoke online software allows you to track any variation expenses or selection changes in real time, giving you complete visibility and control over your budget.

Can you incorporate smart home technology into our new home?

Absolutely! We can integrate a wide range of smart home technologies, including automated lighting, security systems, and climate control. Our aim is to enhance your living experience with the latest in home automation.

What are the advantages of having a home office designed during the build phase?

Designing a home office during the build phase ensures that the space is optimised for productivity and comfort. We can incorporate soundproofing, ergonomic features, and ample lighting, making it a perfect workspace for your needs.

How do you handle changes or variations during the build process?

Our project management software allows for seamless communication and documentation of any changes or variations. We ensure that all updates are agreed upon and signed off before implementation, keeping the project on track and within budget.

How do you manage the timeline of a custom home build?

We provide a detailed project schedule at the start, outlining each phase and milestone. Regular updates and transparent communication ensure you always know the project's status and what to expect next.

What steps do you take to ensure the home is airtight and energy-efficient?

We conduct thorough testing throughout the build process to ensure airtightness and energy efficiency. This includes using high-quality insulation, sealing all gaps, and performing blower door tests to detect and address any leaks. After completion, the house is thoroughly tested with a blow tester and the results registered with building control. 

Can you help with landscaping and outdoor living spaces?

Yes, we can design and create beautiful outdoor living spaces that complement your home. From patios and gardens to outdoor kitchens and seating areas, we ensure your exterior spaces are as inviting as the interior.
