NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in West London W/SW, 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.
West London runs from Fulham terraces to Kensington stucco and Notting Hill villas. Each street has its own rules, its own house stock and its own neighbours.
You deal with one firm from first sketch to handover. Our designers work with ARB-registered architects we partner with. Our in-house quantity surveyor costs every line, open book.
Expect a budget figure within about a week of the visit. Planning, building control and party wall notices are handled in house. The same site team then builds what was drawn.
Recent West London work includes two new Kensington houses, designed and built by us. A Chelsea townhouse, opened up and fitted out. And a Victorian Fulham house with a glazed kitchen extension.

What the boroughs ask of a West London home.
- Council
- Kensington and Chelsea governs Chelsea, Kensington and Notting Hill, through its 2024 Local Plan. Fulham sits with Hammersmith and Fulham.
- Divided houses
- Kensington and Chelsea’s Policy HO1 bars merging existing flats.
- Garden sides
- A rear elevation on a communal garden can matter like a front.
- Rear additions
- CD13 keeps the even rhythm of a row, with additions below the eaves.
- Party walls
- Steels into a shared wall need notice under the Party Wall Act. So does digging near one.

Which parts of West London does NU cover for design and build?
Fulham, Chelsea, Kensington, South Kensington, Notting Hill and Holland Park.
Our studio is on Fulham High Street, so every site is close.
What does a design and build service include in West London?
Design, planning, pricing, building control, party walls and the build itself.
One team and one contract, from the first drawing to handover.
Is design and build cheaper than hiring an architect and a builder?
It is usually clearer. One firm prices the design it draws, open book.
There is no gap between the drawings and the price.
How soon can I get a design and build price in West London?
A budget estimate, typically within seven days of the visit.
It becomes a measured cost plan once drawings are done.
Can NU take on a West London basement as design and build?
Yes. Basements are a large part of our West London work.
Each borough sets its own basement limits, checked before drawing.
