Design & Build in Ruislip.

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 Ruislip 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.

Ruislip: the houses and the planning rules.

Ruislip grew along the Metropolitan line in the 1930s and is still defined by that decade: wide roads of semi-detached and detached houses with hipped roofs, bay windows and long gardens, around a medieval village core with timber-framed cottages and the Manor Farm site. Ruislip Woods and Lido lie to the north.

We fitted out the Masala Chowk restaurant in Ruislip from strip-out to opening, and the surrounding housing is well suited to the rear extensions, hip-to-gable lofts and full refurbishments we carry out across Metroland.

The Ruislip Village conservation area covers the old village; most other streets are unrestricted.

London Borough of Hillingdon

Hillingdon decides applications. Outside the village conservation area, permitted development covers most rear extensions and lofts.

Hipped roofs

Hip-to-gable conversions are the usual way to make a 1930s loft usable, generally within permitted development limits.

Commercial units

Restaurant and shop fit-outs need Hillingdon's consent for shopfront and signage changes and, where cooking is introduced, for extraction.

Approvals for design and build in Ruislip.

All approvals are managed within the contract, so design, consent and construction run as one programme with one team responsible for each.
