NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement golf simulator rooms in Kensington W8, under one contract. A basement runs £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

Kensington has stucco terraces and brick villas on the hill. Many are divided into garden flats. A golf room below one may sit beneath neighbours. So what they hear is the first question.

The borough limits a new basement to one storey under half the garden. The 2016 SPD stops that storey becoming two floors later. So the golf room and every other lower room share a single level.

A struck ball makes a hard thud that carries through the slab. We float the floor on resilient layers. Then we build a lined box inside the shell. The screen wall gets the heaviest build.

Our dig for two new houses in Kensington went three floors down. Nothing there is a golf room. It does prove one team can manage deep structure and fit-out together. We would approach a golf room the same way.
