Design & Build in Kingston upon Thames.
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 Kingston upon Thames 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.

Kingston upon Thames: the houses and the planning rules.
Kingston combines a historic market town with some of the largest private houses in south-west London on the Coombe estates, where detached houses sit in big gardens on private roads. Between them are Edwardian and inter-war family houses and Victorian terraces closer to the river.
We designed, supplied and fitted a kitchen on Coombe Lane North with high-gloss glass fronts, pine veneer, toughened glass worktops and Gaggenau appliances, a large room in a detached house where the kitchen had to match the scale of the space.
The Coombe Hill, Kingston Old Town and riverside conservation areas cover parts of the borough.
Royal Borough of Kingston
Kingston decides applications. The Coombe conservation areas and private estates have design guidance and covenants that affect extensions and external changes.
Detached houses
Larger plots allow double-storey extensions and basements that would not be possible in inner London, though most need a planning application.
Flood zones
Riverside streets fall within flood zones, which affects basements and ground-floor levels.
Approvals for design and build in Kingston upon Thames.
