At Care Home Builders, we’ve spent over 20 years delivering construction projects that support the care sector from full new-build homes to thoughtful extensions and refurbishments. Across Devon, we partner with care providers to create safe, practical, and welcoming spaces for residents and staff alike. Whether you're developing a new care facility in Exeter, upgrading an older home in Torquay, or extending a property in Barnstaple, we bring a clear understanding of what good care environments need and how to deliver them efficiently, on time, and within budget.
New Build Care Homes
We offer a full turnkey service for new residential and nursing care homes across Devon. From greenfield developments in Newton Abbot to multi-storey builds in Plymouth, we manage the entire process from early design input and planning support to construction, fit-out, and handover. Every home is built with resident comfort, staff flow, and long-term operation in mind.
Refurbishment & Upgrades
Many care homes in Paignton, Tiverton, and surrounding areas are being upgraded to meet the modern expectations of care. We carry out full and phased refurbishments from wet room conversions and accessibility improvements to fire safety works and cosmetic upgrades all while working carefully around ongoing care delivery.
Care Home Extensions
Need more space for extra residents or new specialist facilities? We’ve delivered extension projects across rural and urban Devon, helping providers add everything from new bedroom wings and lounges to activity spaces and staff areas, always ensuring the new build integrates smoothly with the existing environment.
Care-Centric Design Advice
Every design decision has an impact, and with our sector focus, we know which details make the difference. Whether it’s dementia-friendly layouts, sensory rooms, or safer circulation spaces, we help clients shape homes that support both the people living there and the teams delivering care.
