Rushmoor's construction market has been transformed by Wellesley, a 3,850-home development on the 255-hectare former Aldershot Garrison site — one of the largest brownfield regeneration schemes in the South East, phased over 12 to 15 years and including the conversion of historic buildings like the Cambridge Military Hospital into homes. Away from Wellesley, Aldershot's dense terraced streets, shaped by more than a century as the home of the British Army, generate a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions, while Farnborough — known internationally for its biennial airshow and aerospace heritage — has a mix of Victorian terraces and larger detached housing supporting a broader range of project types and values. Cove and Ash Vale, on the borough's fringes, keep a more suburban character generating standard extension and garden room work.
Here's a breakdown of the most common types of construction projects in Rushmoor over the past 30 days.
In Rushmoor, Extensions are the most common project type, appearing in 16 of the 24 leads tracked in the last 30 days, with Garage Conversions also showing consistent demand alongside Garden Rooms. Projects can fall into more than one category, so these figures don't need to add up to the total.

Wellesley is by far Rushmoor's largest source of new-build activity, and with over a decade of phased delivery still ahead, it will continue to generate groundworks and finishing trade work for years to come. Aldershot's older terraced housing supports a steady, more affordable extension and loft conversion market, while Farnborough's larger detached properties near the airfield generate higher-spec renovation work. Cove and Ash Vale round out the borough with consistent, standard-scale householder projects.
Planning applications highlight upcoming work, giving you a chance to get in touch before builders are shortlisted.
Approved applications can be particularly valuable because the project has cleared a major planning hurdle and may be moving closer to construction.
Filter by estimated project value to focus your outreach on jobs that match the size and type of work your business takes on.
