At Care Home Builders, we’ve been delivering care-focused construction projects across Buckinghamshire for more than 20 years. Whether it’s a new nursing home in Aylesbury, a dementia care wing in Marlow, or a refurbishment project in High Wycombe, we understand what it takes to build homes that are safe, efficient, and genuinely feel like home. We work exclusively in the care sector, which means we understand the specific needs of residents, staff, and operators in terms of fire safety, access to infection control, and privacy.
New Build Care Homes
We take care of the entire process from site surveys and design coordination to groundwork, construction, and final handover. Each care home is built to meet CQC standards and designed with daily life in mind. We’ve supported both independent care providers and national operators across Buckinghamshire.
Refurbishments & Modernisations
Older care homes in areas such as Amersham, Chesham, and Milton Keynes often need to upgrade to meet modern care standards. We carry out everything from bedroom refurbishments and communal area upgrades to complete compliance-driven overhauls, all planned to minimise disruption in live environments.
Care Home Extensions
Suppose you want to extend your care home to add more rooms, new lounges, or specialised facilities such as treatment areas or sensory rooms. In that case, our team will ensure the extension integrates seamlessly with your current layout and operations. We've completed extension projects throughout Buckinghamshire, delivering both small and large-scale additions.
Design Support & Sector Knowledge
We’re not just your building contractors, but we’re experienced care sector partners. We help shape practical, cost-effective designs that support the realities of day-to-day care delivery while creating an environment where residents feel secure and at ease.
At Care Home Builders, we support care providers and developers in Buckinghamshire who are looking to invest in high-quality, future-proof residential care facilities. Whether you’re building from scratch or adapting an existing property, we help you create living spaces that are comfortable, functional, and meet the needs of older residents. We’ve delivered new-build care homes, specialist extensions, and internal reconfigurations across Buckinghamshire and the South East, always focused on improving the quality of life for residents while supporting the operational needs of care staff. Our design and construction work can be tailored to meet key standards, ensuring homes are not only welcoming but also safe, practical, and future-ready.
Built for Residents. Delivered for You.
We understand that timing, budget, and reliability matter. That’s why our directly employed management teams oversee every stage of delivery, keeping tight control on programme, cost, and quality, so you’re never left guessing. We also plan and operate with care for the surrounding community, maintaining safe, well-managed construction environments that minimise disruption to neighbours, staff, and residents nearby.
At Care Home Builders, we bring more than just construction experience; we gain a fundamental understanding of how care homes operate and what providers in Buckinghamshire need from their building partner. From projects in High Wycombe and Amersham to Aylesbury and Buckingham, we’ve worked with operators across the county to deliver care homes that are practical, compliant, and built to last.
Here’s what makes us different:
A Care-Only Focus: We don’t spread ourselves across sectors. Our work is entirely focused on the care industry, so we know the design standards, operational needs, and day-to-day realities that general contractors often miss.
Local Insight: We are familiar with the local planning landscape across Buckinghamshire, including the needs of local councils, conservation considerations, and regional infrastructure. This helps us anticipate delays, unlock approvals faster, and deliver smoother projects.
A Trusted Team: Our clients don’t deal with layers of middlemen. You get a directly-employed project team who know the care sector, communicate clearly, and stay involved from start to finish.
Built Around You: Every care home has its own story. We take time to understand your care model, your residents’ needs, and your investment priorities, then deliver a building that reflects that vision, not a template.
Reliability and Control. From budget planning to handover, we keep control of the details. That means no nasty surprises and no dropped balls along the way. We deliver on time, on spec, and on your terms.
Planning and development in Buckinghamshire can be pretty complex as many areas fall under the county zoned as Green Belt, conservation areas or the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Beauty (AONB). This can make it tricky to build a new care home or extend an existing one, but it is not impossible with the proper guidance.
Care Home Builders has spent years working across the county - from High Wycombe & Marlow, down to Aylesbury and Amersham and even Milton Keynes. We've helped loads of clients get planning approval for new builds and refurbishments alike.
Our in-house planning and design team know what the local authorities expect. In our design and build package, we prepare complete documentation and liaise directly with council officers to ensure compliance with all the building and care home sector standards, such as -
Design and Access Statements for the building.
Sustainability and energy efficiency reports
Fire safety and accessibility
CQC and building control requirements
Working in areas with strict environmental or heritage conditions is another speciality of ours, we'll use sympathetic materials, clever layouts and sustainable construction methods that won't just tick the box but really meet the requirements of regulators and residents.
With our expertise on board, you can know that you have a partner who'll help turn what could be complex planning conditions into a real, achievable outcome while keeping your project on track and compliant.
Buckinghamshire is a county with a real mix of landscapes, rolling countryside, charming villages, bustling market towns and the ever-growing hub that is Milton Keynes. That mix demands a bit of a bespoke approach to construction.
With all those narrow lanes, historic buildings and high-value homes to consider in areas like rural Aylesbury & urban High Wycombe, getting things right requires some careful planning. So every project we do in Buckinghamshire is custom planned from the ground up, all about finding that perfect balance between getting the job done efficiently, getting the quality right and making sure the people living and working in your care home are happy and comfortable.
We team up with trusty local experts, suppliers & specialists who know the area inside and out. That way we can:
Get hold of materials and services quickly and with a minimum of fuss
Call on skilled labour that knows all about local building materials and regulations
Get to sites fast if things don't go to plan
Consistent build quality that meets our strict standards
We are also mindful of the communities we're working in. We're careful about traffic, keep noise levels down, and make sure we're communicating properly with the people who matter, which is the care home managers & residents alike.
Whether you're building a new home in or around Aylesbury or extending an existing facility in the Chilterns, our team has the local know-how, experience & care to get the job done safely & smoothly.

Nowadays, these care homes talk a lot about high-quality bedrooms, safe interiors, and infection control. One of the most significant contributors to healthy senior living isn’t the facility at all; it’s outside. Spaces outdoors are significant for the well-being of older adults and those living with dementia. This is an esse..
