About Us

New Earth Construction is an Isle of Man building contractor based in Ramsey, delivering residential, commercial and public sector projects across the island.

New Earth Construction

We take projects from early planning and appraisal through design, construction and landscaping to handover, with a strong direct labour force, RICS-accredited commercial management and MCIOB chartered construction leadership.

Who we are

A Manx contractor led by people who are on site, not just on the letterhead, with qualified trades and management in one team.

What we do

Eight services across three sectors: from new-build homes and extensions to fit-outs, refurbishments, public facilities and landscaping.

How we work

Structured programmes, honest pricing and clear communication, with a site manager and a commercial manager on every project.

Overview

New Earth Construction was founded to deliver its own high-quality developments and client projects across the Isle of Man, built on a simple method: listen first, plan thoroughly, execute with discipline.

Founded in 2006

Established on the Isle of Man and led by founder Sam Patmore, with over 15 years in the island's construction industry.

Timing and budget

Timelines matter, we keep them. Budgets matter, we respect them, with cost tracked through regular commercial reviews.

Proudly Manx

Based in Ramsey and working across the whole island, from Douglas town centres to rural and coastal sites.

Built to stand behind

We stand behind what we build for years after handover. On an island, your reputation follows you home.

Built for the Isle of Man

Building well here takes local knowledge. The island has its own planning system, building control and section agreement processes, materials carry shipping uplifts and lead times, and the weather shapes every programme. We work with those realities daily, with established relationships across the island's statutory bodies, consultants and supply chain.

Our approach

The same discipline on every project, whatever the sector.

01

Start early

Start early

The biggest value is added before site starts: feasibility, buildability, budget and lead times tested while they can still shape the project.

02

Plan properly

Plan properly

Sequencing locked in before mobilisation, long-lead items ordered early, and programmes built for island realities, not UK averages.

03

Build with our own people

Finish and stand behind it
