Our Construction Process
The London construction landscape is governed by rigorous standards, and our process is tailored to navigate these effectively. We begin with a feasibility study and architectural design, ensuring our proposals align with the National Planning Policy Framework and local London borough guidelines. Once the design is finalised, our internal engineering department develops the structural plans, addressing everything from Thames Water asset protection to Party Wall Agreements. During the planning phase, we handle all submissions to the local council, leveraging our experience with London’s specific zoning laws. Once on-site, our project managers oversee every detail, ensuring compliance with health and safety and building regulations. Our phased approach includes regular site inspections and client updates, culminating in a rigorous snagging process and the final handover of your London property, complete with all necessary certifications and warranties.
Types of Projects We Handle
Our London portfolio is as diverse as the city itself. In the residential sector, we specialise in high-value new builds, complex basement excavations, and luxurious full-property refurbishments that demand a high level of craftsmanship.
