Construction Project Management in Notting Hill.

A building project is only as good as its management. Every site we run in Notting Hill 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.

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 construction project management in Notting Hill.

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.
