Building for your Lifestyle
We have been building, restoring and extending quality houses in South East England, primarily in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and Wiltshire, for more than thirty years. The proprietor, David Long, has gained an outstanding reputation for quality design and build coupled with honest workmanship.
We specialise in combining the best of modern living and new technology into traditional designs.
With sympathetic use of local materials and architectural salvage we build an extension to blend in seamlessly with the existing structure and a new house to match with the surrounding locale.
With a wealth of experience in traditional construction and with our strategic partner Target Timber Systems, who specialise in timber frames, all your construction needs are fulfilled.
During his years as a builder and project manager, David has built up excellent contacts to enable the supply of competent professionals and subcontractors across all trades and disciplines.
Primesite Construction is distinguished from the average smaller building company by the support of its excellent back office dealing with everything from►
- day to day administration;
- ordering and delivery of supplies;
- leasing and hiring plant and equipment;
- hire and control of subcontractors;
- liaising with warranty companies, Local Councils etc.
Thus providing timely support to the various stages of the design and build process, ensuring that the project runs smoothly. This allows the site agent to be where you want him to be… on site, whilst satisfying the customer with full communication and event reporting.
A full project management service is available from gaining planning permission, through the design and build, right up to the completion inspections and certificates. We can guide you through the whole process from finding your plot o
f land through to fully equipping and furnishing your finished house.

Making buildings energy efficient and less damaging to the environment and landscape is a global priority. The conservation of water is also top of the agenda.
We provide advice on incorporating green and environment friendly features, for example►- gray water recycling for toilet flushing
- gray water recycling for irrigation & car washing
- water cascading
- rainwater harvesting
- ground source heat pumps
- septic tanks
- low power consumption lighting and appliances
- solar and photovolcaic energy

Construction costs for eco-friendly buildings may be a little more than for conventional houses but with tremendous cost savings over time, you'll be rewarded in more ways than one.
Siting buildings in relation to sunlight with improved natural ventilation and greater insulation helps save our planet and through well considered design we can help you to reduce your carbon footprint by using renewable energies.
We will help you to design and build the eco-friendly house that you want and our planet needs.

Rachel Long is proficient in Spanish and has access to agents and tradesmen in the Malaga area.
