About us:

Court Property Developers (CPD) are a local, small to medium sized builder/developer. We employ a small number of core Site operatives (currently 6no.

directly employed site operatives) which include a Site Manager (for which this position will eventually replace), Ground Workers, Carpenters and General Builders together with a number of regular sub-contractors.

We also have a fully maned office which includes the Managing Director, Operations Director and Accountant.

We are an experienced builder/developer.

We have been operating for c27 years and to date we have successfully built over 300 new homes in the local area, averaging around 10 new homes per year, sometimes it is more, sometimes it is less.

Depending on local land availability.


These include:
Large executive houses, - 5 bedroom
Detached houses - 4 bedrooms
Semi-detached and terraced houses
Bungalows
Apartment blocks
Large Conversions

Our approach is. We buy land. Usually with Planning Permission already granted. Build the development and sell the homes. Dealing with every aspect from start to finish.

We could have a Site of 14-20 homes, which would require more clerical organisation by the Site Supervisor/Manager but then the next project could equally be a development of 2 or 3 homes.

This meaning a smaller Site would be much more hands on. Contributing to the construction efforts of the development.

We all work and live in the local Malvern-Worcestershire area.

This means that we can use our employed staff more efficiently, and we can use the same core of sub-contractors that we know and understand.

In addition, the MD and/or Operations Director visit each site daily to ensure good control and communications, and can also visit at short notice if necessary for any support required.

In our developments we have used modern building methods where appropriate, such as timber frame construction, through-colour resin-based render on carrier boards, pre-hung door sets etc.

These may be sometimes be more expensive but they help us control quality and to reduce build time.

We have also, where appropriate, included eco features such as solar thermal heating, PV panels, rain water harvesting, continuous ventilation.

We increasingly use the latter as our homes are so airtight.

We are an 'A1' rated NHBC builder/develope
