NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in North London NW and N, 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.
North London houses sit on hills, in large gardens, under tight conservation rules. Many are detached, with older fabric worth keeping.
Camden asks for reuse before demolition, and audits every basement. So the design starts with what the house already has.
We draw it, price it open book, then build it. Planning and party wall notices are handled in house.
Our North London work includes a 3,500 sq ft house, fully reconfigured.

What the councils ask of a North London home.
- 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.
- Basements
- Since June 2017, every Camden basement needs planning, with an audited impact assessment.
- Construction
- Camden generally asks for a Construction Management Plan with a basement.
- St John’s Wood
- It sits in Westminster, not Camden. We confirm the council first.
