Yes. Our design and build packages include everything from architectural drawings and planning permission to construction and final finishes. This means you only need one point of contact throughout the entire process.
Building a new home is exciting. But it can quickly go wrong.
Delays creep in. Costs spiral out of control. Decisions get made too late.
At J M A Group, we manage new builds in Duffield for homeowners and self-builders who want a project that reflects the quality of this village. Duffield sits on the edge of the Derwent Valley and attracts buyers who want countryside living without losing easy access to Derby. Properties here hold their value well. But the bar for what gets built is high.
New builds in Duffield need to respect the village setting. The streets are established. The homes are well kept. And planners are protective of Duffield’s character. You need a team who understands that — and plans around it from the very beginning.
Duffield has a mix of older stone properties and more recent family homes. Getting a new build to sit comfortably alongside them takes careful design thinking. Planners here pay close attention to scale, materials, and how a new home relates to its neighbours. Submit the wrong design and you’ll face objections that push your timeline back significantly.
We work through all of that before anything is submitted. We look at what’s been approved nearby, what materials work best, and how to present your application in the strongest possible way. Once planning is in place, we take full control of the build — managing every trade, every cost, and every detail until the day we hand over your keys.
If you’re planning a new build in Duffield, work with a team who knows what this village demands. We’ve navigated complex planning scenarios before and we know how to get results. Get in touch today and let’s talk about your project.
Before anything moves forward, we assess the site, planning constraints, and construction challenges to ensure the project is viable — technically and financially.
We coordinate design development, approvals, specifications, and construction methodology so the build starts properly — not reactively.
Budgets are built around real market rates and procurement planning. Materials, labour, and lead times are aligned to avoid delays and cost escalation.
A detailed construction programme is created, sequencing every stage of the build to maximise efficiency and reduce downtime.
We manage the build end-to-end — trades, quality control, health & safety, and timelines — delivering a finished home or development without last-minute firefighting.
If you’re building your own home and want the result to be well planned, properly costed, and professionally delivered — without having to manage multiple contractors yourself — this service is designed for you.
We provide structure, guidance, and full project control, helping you avoid common self-build pitfalls such as budget overruns, poor sequencing, and design decisions that don’t work on site.
For developers who require certainty across cost, programme, and quality, we deliver disciplined project management from feasibility through to completion.
Our approach reduces risk, improves build efficiency, and ensures developments are delivered to a standard that supports resale value, compliance, and long-term performance.
If you own land and want to maximise its potential, we provide informed planning, feasibility insight, and structured delivery to help turn opportunity into a viable, well-executed project.
From early buildability assessments to full delivery management, we ensure decisions are made with both commercial and practical outcomes in mind.
Typical new build costs from £150,000+

Yes. Our design and build packages include everything from architectural drawings and planning permission to construction and final finishes. This means you only need one point of contact throughout the entire process.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. A single-family home may take around 6–12 months, while larger developments can take longer. We always provide a clear project schedule at the outset.
Absolutely. We guide clients through the planning permission process and ensure that every aspect of the build complies with UK building regulations and local authority requirements.
