Construction Project Management in Belgravia.

A building project is only as good as its management. Every site we run in Belgravia has a named site manager who is there every day, a programme that is agreed before work starts, and a weekly report to the client covering progress, decisions needed and anything that has changed.

The site manager coordinates our own trades and the specialists a project needs, from structural engineers and approved inspectors to glazing, stone and joinery suppliers, and deals with the practical realities of building in London: parking suspensions, skips, deliveries through narrow streets, neighbours and party walls.

We build from our own drawings or from your architect's. In the second case we coordinate their inspections with the programme and take responsibility for the construction detail, so the architect's design is built as they intended.

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.
