Construction Project Management in Chelsea.
A building project is only as good as its management. Every site we run in Chelsea 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.

Chelsea: the houses and the planning rules.
Chelsea runs from the red-brick and stucco terraces off the King's Road to the riverside streets around Cheyne Walk. The housing is mostly Victorian, much of it listed, in a dense patchwork of conservation areas policed by the Royal Borough, which is known for strict basement and roof policies.
Our work in Chelsea includes a development of six apartments where we designed, supplied and fitted matching kitchens and wardrobes to the developer's programme. Whether it is one house or a whole building, the same rules apply: careful drawings, early approvals and a build that respects the neighbours.
The Chelsea, Royal Hospital, Cheyne and Chelsea Park/Carlyle conservation areas cover most of the district.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. Its basement policy limits basements to a single storey under part of the garden, and it takes a firm line on roof extensions and rear elevations.
Conservation areas
Almost all of Chelsea is within a conservation area. Article 4 directions remove permitted development rights on many streets, so extensions generally need a full application.
Developments and flats
In new and converted buildings, works are coordinated with the freeholder or developer and delivered to a fixed programme.
Approvals for construction project management in Chelsea.
Approvals are coordinated within the programme, so building control inspections and party wall matters happen when the work is ready for them, and the site diary records every inspection.
