Design & Build in Hampstead.
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 Hampstead 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.

Hampstead: the houses and the planning rules.
Hampstead is a village on a hill with the Heath beside it: Georgian houses on Church Row and Flask Walk, red-brick Victorian mansions on Fitzjohns Avenue, Arts and Crafts houses on the Redington estate and a scatter of modernist infill. The housing is large, the plots are steep and irregular, and almost all of it is in a conservation area.
Projects in Hampstead tend to be substantial: whole-house refurbishments with basements, rear extensions that negotiate a sloping garden, and lofts within the tall Victorian roofs. Camden's conservation officers take the village character seriously, so we invest in the design and the heritage case before submitting anything.
The Hampstead Conservation Area covers the village and its surroundings, with Fitzjohns/Netherhall and Redington/Frognal alongside.
London Borough of Camden
Camden decides applications and applies Article 4 directions across much of Hampstead, removing permitted development for extensions, roof changes and front alterations.
Basements
Camden's basement policy requires a Basement Impact Assessment covering ground conditions, drainage and neighbouring structures, and limits depth and footprint.
Heath and trees
Tree preservation orders and Heath views are material considerations on many streets; we survey trees early.
Approvals for design and build in Hampstead.
All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
