NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle luxury refurbishment in South Kensington SW7, under one contract. A full renovation runs £250 to £650 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

South Kensington grew up around the museums, in stucco terraces and garden squares.

Many of the big houses are now apartments. Mews houses sit behind them.

An apartment brings a lease, a freeholder and a managing agent.

Each one can shape what changes, and when the work can run.

We agree the works with them first. Then we design, price and build.
