NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We design, price and build homes in Chelsea SW3, under one contract. Construction runs from £215 to £800 a sq ft, luxury to super prime finishes. A basement runs £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days. Buying a house here, the free Buyer’s Report gives a budget in 24 hours.
Chelsea sits along the river, a short way from the studio in Fulham. We have built here for years, on townhouses and terraces.
The houses are mostly Victorian and Georgian terraces, often four storeys and sometimes five. Garden squares sit between them. A basement is a common ask.
Chelsea sits inside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Its basement rule, first adopted as CL7 in 2015, is now Policy CD11. One storey only, and no more than half the garden. Source: RBKC Local Plan 2024, read on 7 October 2026.
Chelsea pricing runs open book on our own rate card. Expect a budget estimate within seven days, a cost plan next, then one contract.

Five kinds of job, one contract.
-
Basements
Chelsea sits inside the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. A new basement follows Policy CD11, one storey, no more than half the garden.

Architecture
Most Chelsea houses stay whole houses. The design carries through every storey, not one flat.
Read the service -
Interior design
Garden squares and tall rooms are common here. Joinery and lighting are drawn to suit a taller Chelsea storey.
Read the service -
Extensions and lofts
A Chelsea loft or return extension is checked against Policy CD13 first. Then against the borough’s conservation rules.

Construction
Chelsea sites often share a garden square. We agree deliveries with neighbours before work starts.
