Design & Build in Belsize Park.
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 Belsize Park 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.

Belsize Park: the houses and the planning rules.
Belsize Park was laid out in the 1850s as a suburb of paired stucco villas with generous gardens, between Hampstead to the north and Primrose Hill to the south. The villas survive in long, leafy streets, many divided into flats, alongside Edwardian mansion blocks and post-war infill.
It is one of the most active refurbishment markets in north London: reuniting houses that were split into flats, refurbishing garden and first-floor maisonettes, and adding rear extensions and basements beneath the villas. Camden's Belsize guidance shapes what is possible on each street.
The Belsize Conservation Area covers most of the district.
London Borough of Camden
Camden decides applications. The Belsize Conservation Area statement sets out expectations for rear extensions, roof works and stucco repair, and Article 4 directions apply on many streets.
Flats and maisonettes
Most properties are leasehold flats, so a licence to alter from the freeholder sits alongside planning and building control.
Basements
Camden's basement policy applies, with a Basement Impact Assessment for any new lower ground floor.
Approvals for design and build in Belsize Park.
All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
