Building Country Homes Since 2008
Puqilo specializes in turnkey construction of country cottages across London and surrounding counties.
Founded in 2008 by a group of construction engineers, we started with a simple goal: deliver residential properties where British families can enjoy countryside living without compromising on quality or comfort. Our first project was a four-bedroom cottage in Surrey, completed within 8 months for a family relocating from central London.
Since then, we've constructed 127 country homes across Kent, Sussex, Hertfordshire, and Berkshire. Each project follows our systematic approach: detailed planning, transparent budgeting, and construction using certified materials from UK and European suppliers. We work with structural engineers, certified electricians, and plumbing specialists who hold current qualifications recognized by UK building authorities.
What Guides Our Work
We focus on creating homes that meet UK building regulations and suit the practical needs of families moving to rural areas. Our approach prioritizes structural integrity, energy efficiency rated under current EPC standards, and construction timelines we can realistically meet.
Every cottage we build undergoes inspections at foundation, framing, and completion stages. We provide clients with detailed documentation including material specifications, warranty information for installed systems, and maintenance schedules for roofing, heating, and insulation components.
Core Principles
Transparent Pricing
Fixed-price contracts with itemized costs for materials, labor, and subcontractors. No hidden fees added during construction.
Certified Materials
Timber from FSC-certified suppliers, insulation meeting Part L regulations, and roofing materials with minimum 25-year manufacturer warranties.
Qualified Team
Site managers with NVQ Level 6 in Construction Management, electricians registered with NICEIC, and Gas Safe registered heating engineers.
Realistic Timelines
Average construction period of 10-14 months for standard cottages, with weekly progress reports and updated schedules when weather delays occur.
