What Sets Us Apart as a Building Company

Honest, Upfront Communication

We’re straightforward about costs, realistic about timelines and quick to flag anything that needs your attention. No surprises, no jargon — just clear, plain-English updates throughout your project.

Skilled Craftsmanship at Every Stage

We don’t cut corners on materials or workmanship, and we take real pride in the details. The things that separate a good build from a truly great one. Every project we take on is treated with the same care.

Full Project Management, One Team

We coordinate every trade, so you’re never juggling subcontractors or chasing separate specialists. Our team handles everything, giving you a joined-up approach from groundbreak to final snag.

What We Build: Extensions, Renovations & New Builds

Our core services cover the full spectrum of residential building work. We specialise in house extensions, full home renovations, open-plan conversions, and complete new build homes across Devon and Cornwall. Whatever the scale of your project, we bring the same methodical, quality-focused approach.

We work with homeowners at all stages of the planning process — whether you have architect’s drawings ready to go or you’re still working out whether a project is feasible. We’re happy to walk you through options, help you think through the practicalities and give you an honest view of what’s achievable within your budget. 

WHERE WE WORK

A South West Building Company With Deep Local Roots

We’re based in the South West and have spent over a decade building relationships with homeowners, architects and suppliers across the region. Our work takes us across Devon and Cornwall — from Plymouth, Plymstock and Plympton to Ivybridge, South Hams, Tavistock, Saltash and Yelverton, and throughout the wider Devon and Cornwall countryside.

Knowing the area well means we understand local planning requirements, building styles and the particular challenges that come with South West properties. That local knowledge, combined with our experience and our standards, is what makes us the building company homeowners across the region come back to and recommend.

Ready to Talk About Your Project?

If you’re thinking about an extension, renovation or new build anywhere across Devon or Cornwall, we’d love to hear from you. Andy is happy to talk through your ideas, give honest guidance on what’s achievable and provide a free, no-obligation quote — whether you’re ready to start tomorrow or still in the early planning stages.

We’re a small team, which means you’ll always speak to someone who knows your project — not a call handler, not a salesperson. Just the people who’ll be building your home.

Hobbs Home Builders completed a full renovation of my home in Oreston, Plymstock, and the results are excellent. Andy was professional, reliable and clearly takes pride in his work. The finish is to a very high standard and the whole process was well managed. Highly recommend.

Andrew and his team completed a complete renovation of our home. We asked Andrew to come in prior to the work to give us some ideas about what would look right for the home and layout we were after. He has a fantastic creative eye and his attention to detail is second to none. Andrew worked quickly on our our project and you could see notable progress as the days and weeks passed ! He always kept us updated with his progress and where he hoped to be by the end of that week's work so clearly had a plan. His carpentry skills are second to none and he had fantastic ideas to enhance the finished work. Andrew dealt and liased with fellow traders and suppliers which took alot of stress out of the project. And the end result was a fantastic house which suits all of our needs. We are delighted with the work carried out and I really can recommend this professional,creative builder. He has continued to stay in touch with us with follow up calls to ensure we are happy with the completed work which shows a commitment to great customer care.

Hobbs Homes did a fantastic job of completing our house renovation project in Totnes. Andy and his team provided a 1st class service and delivered a high end construction, fit and finish at a competitive rate. Using Hobbs Homes took the stress out of our house renovation and we can’t recommend their services enough. From the initial layout designs all the way to build completion, Andy and his team went the above and beyond to make sure the project was a great success!
