Design and build services for homeowners in Clapham

Are you a homeowner in Clapham looking to improve how your house works as well as how it looks? NU Projects is a design and build studio on Fulham High Street, and we take a house from the first drawing through to handover under one contract.

Design

The design is the first step and the one everything else rests on. A kitchen, an extension or a whole extra floor: our architectural designers and interior designers work with you on the layout before anything is priced. Drawings and visualisations let you see the finished plan rather than imagine it.

Building, with a feel for the area

Clapham is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, with the usual west and south London pattern of side returns, closet wings and loft space. Knowing the stock tells you which of the three obvious projects is worth doing on your particular house. From groundworks to final finishes, the work is carried out by our own site team.

Renovations and extensions

If you like where you live and simply need more room, an extension is the usual answer. We handle the planning application, the design, the construction and the decoration, so the new part of the house meets the old part properly rather than being bolted on. Published rates for this kind of work are on our cost calculator.

Building more sustainably

A renovation is the cheapest opportunity to improve the fabric of a period house. Insulation where you are replastering anyway, airtightness, glazing and then the heating and controls, in that order. Better fabric lowers what the house costs to run for as long as you own it.

• Local knowledge. We know Clapham’s housing stock and what the borough will and will not permit.
• Drawn for your house. No standard layout, because no two terraces have the same plan.
• One contract. Design, construction and finishes under one appointment, with one project manager.
• Fabric first. Insulation, airtightness and glazing decided at design stage rather than added later.
• Cost you can read. A priced document, line by line, with the exclusions written down.
