If you own land and wish to self build a customisable dream home Benjamin Michael can create it for you. Information and detailed planning are the keys to making good decisions in the home building process, with our project managers and highly skilled workforce all projects undertaken are achieved in budget and on time.
As local house builders, we carry out construction on new homes across the Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire areas.
Dream homebuilding should be fun and exciting, unfortunately we often hear people talk about their previous building experiences as tiring and frustrating. It doesn’t have to be that way, when purchasing a new product it is made far more enjoyable when you are well informed about the product, thus making you feel comfortable that you are getting what you paid for. That's what makes Benjamin Michael the best choice of construction company in the area.
The problem with home building is that it’s possibly the most complicated purchase you will make, and it is susceptible to the mistakes of a lot of third parties.
The reason Benjamin Michael clients remain our friends and satisfied customers, even after we complete their dream homes, is not because we work longer or harder. It’s because we know more about the home building process than our competitors, and we have a planning process that eliminates or has contingency for any and all obstacles.
When you combine all the elements of the Benjamin Michael self Build experience from our Pre Construction Service, detailed Quotation, Guaranteed Cost Breakdown, schedule of works and client personal home page with Automated variation order system, Detailed Construction Documents and End-of-Stage maintenance schedule you get a building program that:

Miss Blackwell
"This was the first time I had employed any builders & was not sure what to expect. BMC were a pleasure to work with throughout. Although it was only a small project all my queries were dealt with in a professional, timely & unbiased way. The standard of work was excellent & the site kept very clean & tidy throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone."
Mr & Mrs Hastings
"We were very happy with the building work at every stage and were impressed by the tidy and professional way of working. We also welcomed the ability to discuss any queries or concerns and these would be addressed (including changing our mind on something on the plan & was already started!) The work was always done to a high standard and no corners were cut. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to others."
Mr & Mrs Causen
“Ben and Michael were really friendly and helpful. They explained clearly everything that was involved and kept us fully informed as the build progressed. They are completely trustworthy and got along with the kids and dog. They are tidy workers and left the site each day as organized as possible. We would be happy to use their services again and would certainly recommend them to friends and family.”
Ms Reading
“If looking for reliable trustworthy sensible contractors and are working full time and need to let the builders get on with it then I’d recommend Ben, Guy and his dad. Inevitably snags happen but willingness to respond and put right without hassle was refreshing.”
Mr & Mrs Shepherd
“We found Mick & Ben easy to work with. They were always polite, kept us informed and turned up as and when they said they would. The quality of their work was high and we would certainly consider using them again.”
Mr & Mrs Bilby
“All the building work & finishing was completed to a very high standard. We would not hesitate in employing Benjamin Michael Construction in the future as they were very professional in every way & it was nice to have builders that cleaned up at the end of every day. Highly recommended.”
Mr & Mrs Young
“We were not looking forward to having the work done, but were very pleasantly surprised by how little disruption the work caused, despite the extend of the work. The contractors were very friendly, professional, hardworking and trust-worthy.
The end result is superb, and disruption during the work was as little as possible.”
Mr & Mrs Horsfall
“Having received many quotations – some through recommendations, I found BMC to be competitive & very thorough.
When the work began, and throughout the work, the necessary mess was confined to the site & never came through into the house. I was amazed how clean builders could be!!
Overall BMC’s work was excellent & I would have no hesitation in recommending their work to others”
Mr & Mrs Young
“The work (all of it) was carried out to an excellent standard. The builders were always on time or let us know otherwise. We always knew what was going on with our project at various stages. The builders were friendly yet professional”
Mr & Mrs Smith
“From the start to finish all of the work was carried out in a highly professional & friendly manner. We felt very comfortable consulting both Ben & Mick and always felt they were providing excellent, impartial advice. A potentially tough time was made easy. At times they went above & beyond, i.e. helping to provide a new kitchen”
Mr & Mrs Burrows
“Very helpful when discussing plans i.e. ideas for our extension. Would have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family. We found them very efficient and friendly”
