Construction Project Management in Islington.
A building project is only as good as its management. Every site we run in Islington 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.

Islington: the houses and the planning rules.
Islington is Georgian and early Victorian London north of the Angel: flat-fronted brick terraces around the squares of Barnsbury and Canonbury, the grander villas of Highbury Fields, and the canal-side warehouses now converted to apartments. The conservation areas are extensive and many houses are listed.
We have refurbished houses in Highbury and the surrounding streets, and the pattern here is consistent: opening up a narrow terraced plan, adding a side or rear extension at lower ground level, converting the loft and restoring the front elevation. Islington's conservation team expects rear extensions to be subordinate and well detailed.
The Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury Fields and Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row conservation areas cover most of the district.
London Borough of Islington
Islington decides applications and applies Article 4 directions in most conservation areas, so rear extensions and roof changes generally need a full application.
Basements
The borough's basement policy limits depth and footprint and requires a structural method statement and impact assessment.
Listed terraces
Many terraces are Grade II listed; internal alterations, including removing walls, need listed building consent.
Approvals for construction project management in Islington.
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.
