Construction and Engineering Awards 2026 Best Design & Build Construction Company 2026 – South East England Horton Property Consultancy is an independent property, construction, project management, and surveying company ensuring the delivery of its customers’ projects. Its services are all able to be tailored to the specifics of a job, and with this expansive list spanning everything from architectural and structural works to refurbishments, extensions, new builds, project management, and consultancy advice, solutions to its customers’ construction problems are never far away. These services are all included in the company’s complete design and build package, or they can be accessed individually. For example, Simon told us: “Some customers have already obtained planning and building control, and just require us to carry out the build. We are also utilised by other building contractors solely for design elements who do not offer those services.” This means every day looks different for Simon and the team here. Taking us through just one of the projects they have worked on recently, Simon told us of a job where the team were appointed to obtain planning permission to build a rear extension on a family’s new home. One thing led to another, and the team soon found themselves tasked with delivering a full renovation to this new house, transforming it into a forever home. Interestingly, this is a common theme. Simon named two other instances off the top of his head where Horton Property Consultancy has been hired for one job and then ended up completing an entirely new project afterwards. This is actually the case with a current client, who has asked Simon and co. to convert his garage and obtain planning permission for a two-storey side extension, as well as designing and building the rear extension they were originally hired for. All of these projects, and even specific elements within each project, are completely unique, and this is where having an in-house design team comes in incredibly valuable. As Simon commented: “This allows us to streamline the process and avoid any pitfalls before works commence. We often hear and read about people who have used a separate designer, structural engineer, builder, etc., and this causes problems when issues arise.” To hire Horton Property Consultancy is to sidestep these issues, and receive a professional service where everyone is aligned under one vision. For Simon, this is where the value lies, as whilst there are architects, engineers, and building companies locally, there aren’t many offering a complete design and build service like him, which is what customers prefer. Supporting this claim is the fact that the company is constantly receiving work, even at a time when many competitors are struggling or even shutting down due to a lack of it. As well as always being busy, Horton Property Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, Horton Property Consultancy Ltd has been serving London and the South East with property and construction services since it was founded by experienced project manager and qualified surveyor Simon Horton in 2016. Today, its team assist and advise across all aspects of construction and planning, covering building, electrical, and planning works in the residential sector, as well as commercial and education environments. Simon himself told us more. Consultancy receives a lot of word-of-mouth recommendations from customers, who comment on the level of knowledge and expertise they receive from Simon and the team. These experts also deal with planning and building control inspectors on a regular basis, and have developed a good rapport with them. This includes being recommended on a number of occasions to people who have fallen victim to scams by cowboy builders. Receiving these recommendations is an immense source of pride for Simon, as is being recognised as the Best Design & Build Construction Company 2026 – South East England in this programme. Reflecting on this achievement, Simon said: “All of the team are thrilled to not just be nominated, but to also be the winners of this award. It demonstrates to both existing and potential new customers that we are professionals within our sector, and that they can put their trust in us, as we are experts in what we do.” With these experts currently working on three extensions, three renovations, and a porch (alongside the new-build house, renovation, garage conversion, and four extensions currently in the works), we wish them all the best for the rest of 2026 and beyond.
