Build diary: a new two-bed bungalow in Little Paxton

A look back at a new build bungalow: site excavation, foundations, a hardwood sleeper retaining wall and the roof trusses going on.

In autumn 2020 we built a new two-bedroom bungalow in Little Paxton. Here’s how the first weeks of a new build come together.

The plot was cleared and excavated ready for the foundations.

The foundations were constructed and the oversite installed, creating the base for the new home.

A hardwood sleeper retaining wall was built to shape the garden around the new building.

On a beautiful autumn day, the roof trusses were installed, giving the bungalow its final shape.
