Custom Build gives you input into the design and specification of your home within a managed process, without the delays or financial risks of a traditional Self Build. At Windlass Court, you choose from an agreed range of layouts, external finishes and internal options, Fourthwright Design & Construction builds the home, while XERA guides you through the Custom Build journey.

The process is simple: You will choose your serviced plot, you will select your layout and finishes from the available options, your build cost is confirmed based on your choices, then Fourthwright builds your home.
