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.
- Council
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, under its 2024 Local Plan.
- Listed houses
- Policy CD5 counts the order of rooms and original staircases in the listing.
- Roofs
- Policy CD12 resists extra storeys on terraces with complete, unaltered rooflines.
- Rear additions
- Policy CD13. Additions must not break the even rhythm along the terrace.
- Basements
- Policy CD11. One storey, and no digging beneath a listed building.
- Existing homes
- Policy HO1 resists merging self-contained flats into fewer, larger homes.

Are NU’s drawings made with registered architects?
Yes. Our designers work with ARB-registered architect partners.
They draw alongside the team that builds the scheme.
Can NU design a whole new house in South West London?
Yes. We designed and built four new houses in Fulham.
Each has a basement below.
Can two Earl’s Court flats be joined into one home?
Usually not. Policy HO1 resists merging self-contained homes.
We check this before any design fee.
Does NU handle planning as well as design?
Yes. Applications are prepared and submitted in house.
