Basement contractors in London. We design, engineer and build basements under one contract. Basement cost in London, the 2026 figures.

You may be an architect looking for a London contractor. The job may be a kitchen extension, a loft conversion or a basement. Here is what working with NU Projects involves. No pitch, just the shape of it.

Estimating from your drawings

Send us the drawings and our quantity surveyor will price them. You get a measured estimate you can put in front of your client. This comes before the scheme is fixed. That is when a number is still useful. We do this for architects whether or not we end up building the job.

An in-house surveyor and a site team

Cost and site sit in the same building here. A quantity surveyor, project managers and a site team, on Fulham High Street. That means one set of people to ring. You ring them when something on the drawing meets something in the ground. You avoid a chain of three.

What we build

We build kitchen extensions, loft conversions, basements and whole house renovations. We work mostly across west and north west London, since 2010. You can see completed work on our projects page.

Come and see a live site

The most useful thing an architect can do before recommending a contractor is simple. Stand on one of their sites while the work is running. Ask us and we will arrange it. We will give you the client’s number as well.

Talk to us

If you have a project that needs a contractor, send us the drawings. Or call the studio on 020 7731 6841. We are happy to price a scheme that is still at concept stage. We will say what it will cost to build.

This is the work we do. Basement contractors in London, or ask for a cost estimate.
