NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle architecture and planning drawings in West London W/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.

Our designers work with ARB-registered architects we partner with. The same studio then prices the drawings and builds them.

A West London design begins with a measured survey and the planning history. We check what the neighbours built, and what the borough refused.

Kensington and Chelsea weighs the whole terrace, not one house alone. Roofs, rear additions and front lightwells are all judged against the group.

In Kensington, we built two family houses where a block of flats stood. In Fulham, four new houses went from drawings to handover.

What the borough asks of a West London design.

Council: Kensington and Chelsea governs Chelsea, Kensington and Notting Hill, through its 2024 Local Plan. Fulham sits with Hammersmith and Fulham.
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.
Existing homes: Policy HO1 resists merging self-contained flats into fewer, larger homes.
Front lightwells: Policy CD11 resists new front lightwells and railings where they would harm the street.
Applications: In a conservation area, the borough requires a full application, not outline.
