Apartments near the river, in Georgian terraces and mansion blocks. Extensions are rare here, so the design works within the walls.

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle design and build in Westminster SW1P, 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.

Near the river, Westminster is apartments almost entirely. Georgian terraces stand beside mansion blocks, and most homes are leasehold.

So space is found by rearranging rooms, rather than adding them. Where an extension does happen, it usually runs sideways, not outwards.

Much of the area sits in conservation areas. The city counts more than 11,000 listed buildings. In a listed flat, consent reaches plasterwork, panelling and chimneypieces.

Our designers draw the scheme with ARB-registered architects we partner with. Our quantity surveyor prices it open book. The freeholder’s licence runs in parallel with any consent.

We fitted out a 1,500 sq ft apartment in SW1, finished in 2023. Nearby, we refurbished a Belgravia apartment under one contract.

Can I extend a Westminster apartment?

Rarely outward. Most gains come from replanning the rooms already there.

Where extension happens, it is usually lateral.

Outside works to a flat always need planning.

Does a listed Westminster flat limit the redesign?

Yes. Consent reaches inside, to plaster, panelling and chimneypieces.

Policy 44 asks that the building’s special interest is kept.

Who else must agree to works in a Westminster mansion block?

The freeholder, through a licence, and often the managing agent.

Their rules can set working hours.

We bring them in before drawings are final.
