Construction Project Management in St John's Wood.
A building project is only as good as its management. Every site we run in St John's Wood 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.

St John's Wood: the houses and the planning rules.
St John's Wood was London's first garden suburb of villas, laid out from the 1820s, and much of that character survives: paired stucco villas set back behind front gardens, later Victorian houses on the roads towards Maida Vale, and the mansion blocks and 1930s apartment buildings along Wellington Road and St John's Wood Road. Abbey Road and Lord's sit at its edges, Regent's Park to the south.
For owners that means large, well-proportioned rooms, deep plots that suit rear extensions and basements, and a planning authority, Westminster, that expects any change to respect the villa character. We have fitted kitchens on Abbey Road and in the roads off the High Street, and we know which streets carry the tighter controls.
The St John's Wood Conservation Area covers most of the district.
Westminster City Council
Westminster decides planning and listed building applications. The St John's Wood Conservation Area removes some permitted development rights, so many rear extensions and roof changes need a full application.
Villas and gardens
Extensions are judged on their effect on the villa form and on garden space; basements need a Basement Impact Assessment under Westminster's basement policy.
Flats and mansion blocks
Refurbishing a flat usually needs a licence to alter from the freeholder or block management in addition to building regulations.
