NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle architecture and planning drawings in South West London SW, under one contract. The calculator gives your own range in a minute, by scope and finish. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Good architecture in South West London starts with the house you have. Listed staircases, original room orders and terrace rooflines all count. We survey them before the first sketch.

Then we test the brief against the council. Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham and Westminster each judge differently. A scheme that suits Fulham may fail in Chelsea.

Planning drawings come next, then construction details. Because we also build, the details are drawn to be built, not just approved.

Our quantity surveyor prices the design as it develops. You see the cost of each idea before it is fixed.

The policies every SW drawing meets.
