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.
New build projects don’t fail because of materials.
They fail due to poor planning, weak sequencing, and lack of cost control.
At J M A Group, we manage new builds in Handsworth with the same discipline used on commercial projects — structured planning, clear budgets, and controlled delivery — while designing homes that genuinely work for everyday living.
Whether you’re building your own home or developing property for sale, we bring clarity and control from day one.
Most self-builds and small developments in Handsworth struggle because too many decisions are made too late.
We prevent that by planning everything upfront and managing the entire process under one team.
Commercial-level project management for residential builds
Early feasibility and buildability advice
Realistic cost planning and procurement strategy
Clear programmes with defined milestones
One accountable team from concept to completion
We don’t simply “build what’s drawn.” In Handsworth, we challenge designs, manage risk, and deliver homes that perform as well on-site as they do on paper.
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+

Had a very good initial meeting with JMA Group represented by Sunnie. Sunnie first briefed us thoroughly about their company - what they do and how they operate as regards their projects. Then we had a very positive discussion about our own planned project , a single storey extension with internal alterations. He made very interesting recommendations, which we are now considering to adapt. We are still in the negotiating process, but we hope to come up with a mutually beneficial agreement to get this project going. Very happy so far with the way they deal with us - very professional. Thank you Sunnie!Posted on Sebastian MuthuparakunnelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience with Sunnie!
