Design & Build in Belgravia.
Design and build means we take responsibility for the whole project, from the first sketch to the day you move back in. There is one contract, one programme and one person to call, and the people who drew the scheme are in the same office as the people building it.
For a house or flat in Belgravia that covers the measured survey, concept and developed design, planning and building regulation drawings, the applications themselves, construction by our own site team, the kitchen and bathrooms we supply, joinery, decoration and handover with a guarantee on the work.
The advantage is simple: nothing falls between an architect, a planning consultant and a builder, because they are the same team. Problems are solved on the drawing board rather than on site, and the price and programme are set before work starts.

Belgravia: the houses and the planning rules.
Belgravia was built by Thomas Cubitt for the Grosvenor estate in the 1820s and 1830s and it has barely changed since: cream stucco terraces around Eaton Square, Belgrave Square and Chester Square, with cobbled mews behind. The whole district is a conservation area, most houses are listed, and the Grosvenor estate remains the freeholder of much of it.
Work here is nearly always to a listed building, which means listed building consent, a heritage statement and an approach that treats the historic fabric as the priority. Within that we fit kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and services to modern standards, and convert mews houses into complete homes.
The Belgravia Conservation Area covers the whole district, and the majority of the houses are Grade II or II* listed.
Westminster City Council
Westminster decides planning and listed building applications for the whole of Belgravia, with detailed conservation area guidance and long-standing policies on roof extensions and basements.
Grosvenor estate
Grosvenor's own consent is required for most alterations on the estate, with its own design guidance and surveyors.
Listed interiors
Cornices, staircases, chimneypieces and joinery are part of the listing; changes need consent and specialist trades.
Approvals for design and build in Belgravia.
