Design & Build in Notting Hill.
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 Notting Hill 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.

Notting Hill: the houses and the planning rules.
Notting Hill is the Ladbroke estate: crescents of paired stucco villas laid out in the 1840s around private communal gardens, with painted terraces sloping down towards Portobello Road and the red-brick mansion blocks of Pembridge Square. It is one of the largest and most recognisable Victorian suburbs in London, and it is protected accordingly.
Most of the houses have been through several lives, from single family homes to bedsits and back again, so refurbishments here often involve reinstating original layouts, repairing stucco and cornices, and adding basements and rear extensions that the communal-garden rules and RBKC policy allow.
The Pembridge, Ladbroke, Norland and Kensington Park conservation areas cover almost all of Notting Hill.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
RBKC decides applications. The Ladbroke and Pembridge conservation areas have Article 4 directions, so most external changes, including rear extensions and roof works, need a full application.
Communal gardens
Houses backing onto the communal gardens are covered by garden committee rules as well as planning, which affect rear extensions, terraces and boundary treatments.
Basements
New basements follow the borough's single-storey policy with a construction traffic management plan and structural method statement.
Approvals for design and build in Notting Hill.
All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
