Design & Build in Richmond.

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 Richmond 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.

Richmond: the houses and the planning rules.

Richmond has Georgian houses around the Green and up the Hill, Victorian villas along the roads to the Park, and Edwardian streets between the station and Kew. The view from Richmond Hill is protected by Act of Parliament, and the conservation areas are among the most carefully managed in outer London.

Refurbishments here range from listed Georgian townhouses to Edwardian family houses that want a kitchen extension and a loft. The council's design guidance is detailed and its conservation officers are engaged, so the drawings and heritage statement are prepared to match.

The Richmond Town, Richmond Hill, Richmond Green and Kew Green conservation areas cover the centre and the riverside, and many houses are listed.

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

Listed buildings

The view

The protected view from Richmond Hill and the Thames Policy Area affect roof extensions and riverside sites.
