NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in Hampstead NW3, 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.

Hampstead climbs a hill, with springs and clay beneath it. Its houses are Georgian and Victorian, many listed, many looking over the heath. Family houses are more common than flats.

Camden and the Hampstead plan both favour reuse over rebuilding. So a scheme here renews a house carefully, rather than replacing it. Energy upgrades are welcome, if historic fabric survives.

Our designers draw it with ARB-registered architects we partner with. Matt Coverley, our in-house quantity surveyor, prices it open book. Expect a budget estimate within seven days, typically.

We have not yet built in NW3. Our nearest work is a north London house in N2, reconfigured and fitted out. We also renovated a Grade II listed apartment in Marylebone.

What Camden asks of a Hampstead house.

Council: London Borough of Camden, whose Local Plan was adopted in July 2017.
Reuse: Policy CC1 asks for retrofit to be strongly considered before demolition.
Materials: Hampstead plan Policy DH3 favours lime, timber and sensitive energy upgrades.
Additions: Policy DH1 keeps extensions subservient. Dormers stay modest, set back, ideally behind.
Originals: Policy DH2 protects original windows, doors and walls, or asks for restoration.
Basements: Since June 2017, every Camden basement needs planning, with an audited impact assessment.
