NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in Pimlico SW1V, 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.

Pimlico was laid out as a single estate, in Belgravia’s era. Its white stucco terraces face garden squares. Most have been divided into flats.

That shapes design and build here. A whole house is the exception. More often the job is one flat, or one floor, replanned.

Roof storeys are a hard sell. Westminster turns them down where a roof line is complete and largely unaltered. Many terraces here fit that description.

Below ground, Policy 50 permits a single storey beneath the lowest original floor. Planning is always required, under a citywide direction from July 2016.

For a flat, we assemble the licence pack for the freeholder. Drawings, method statements and programme go in together. Work then starts on agreed hours.

Our nearest work is next door, a 2,000 sq ft Belgravia apartment.

Can I add a storey to a Pimlico terrace house?

Rarely. Westminster refuses roof extensions on complete, unaltered terraces.

Where a roof line is already broken, a mansard may be discussed.

We check the terrace before drawing.

What does design and build mean for a Pimlico flat?

One team replans the layout, prices it and builds it.

The lease and the managing agent come in early.

Services, kitchens and bathrooms are usually renewed together.

Is a Pimlico basement allowed under Westminster’s plan?

Under Policy 50, one storey below the lowest original floor.

It may take no more than half the garden.

Planning is always needed, under a citywide Article 4 direction.

Has NU built anywhere near Pimlico?
