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

Knightsbridge: the houses and the planning rules.
Knightsbridge is estate London at its most exacting. The Cadogan estate's red-brick Queen Anne terraces around Hans Place and Pont Street, the stucco squares of Thurloe and Brompton, and the mews behind them are all in conservation areas, much of it listed, and the estates have their own design requirements on top of the borough's.
Refurbishments here are mostly of lateral flats and mews houses, with kitchens, bathrooms and joinery specified to a very high standard and delivered around the constraints of estate consent, porters, lifts and neighbours who expect quiet. We have worked to these rules for many years, starting a mile north in Marylebone.
The Knightsbridge, Hans Town, Brompton and Thurloe Estate conservation areas cover the whole district.
Two councils
The boundary between RBKC and Westminster runs through the district; we check which authority applies at the first visit and prepare the application to its requirements.
Estate consent
The Cadogan and Wellcome estates require their own approval for alterations, with detailed guidance on windows, roofs and mews frontages.
Flats
Almost all the housing is flats, so licences to alter, block working hours and structural sign-off from the freeholder's surveyor form part of every programme.
Approvals for construction project management in Knightsbridge.
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.
