Drawn by a team that knows what it costs.

Architectural design takes a home from feasibility to construction drawings. ARB-registered architects we partner with work alongside our designers. We are NU Projects, design and build in Fulham SW6 since 2010. Design fees come in a written proposal, with each payment stage set out. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.

NU Projects designs prime London homes, then builds them. Drawings are made by a team that knows what they cost. That closes the gap between a design and a price.

Our architectural designers lead the design. ARB-registered architects we partner with work alongside them.

We take a home from first concept to construction drawings. Planning and building control run alongside the design. Structural engineers and specialist consultants are coordinated by us, not by you.

A feasibility study tests whether the brief, the property and the budget fit together. Planning drawings explain the scheme, for assessment. Construction drawings carry the detail that lets it be priced and built.

Each stage ends with something you can see and approve, before the next begins.

How a home is drawn, then built.

  1. 01

    The brief

    How you live, and what the house must do. Written down, in your words.

  2. 02

    Feasibility

    Options tested against the house, the planning rules and your budget. Missing surveys named early.

  3. 03

    Concept design

    Plans, and a visualisation of the one move that makes the home. Priced as it develops.

  4. 04

    Planning

    Planning drawings prepared, submitted and handled for you. Building control runs alongside.

  5. 05

    Construction drawings

    Structure and services resolved with the engineers, before anyone is on site.

  6. 06

    Priced and built

    Our quantity surveyor prices every line. Then one contract, and the same team builds it.

What does a feasibility study tell me?

It tests whether your brief, property, likely approvals, budget and programme fit together.

We compare options and identify any missing surveys, before developing your preferred scheme.

The calculator gives your own range in a minute, by scope and finish.

What is the difference between planning drawings and construction drawings?

Planning drawings explain the proposed development, for assessment.

Construction information needs more coordination and detail, covering structure, services, materials and junctions. This is what lets the work be priced and built.

More in the knowledge hub

Do I need planning permission for my project?

It depends on your property, the proposed work and any planning restrictions in place.

Some schemes qualify as permitted development. We always check eligibility against your actual building before relying on that route.

How long will planning permission take?

Allow time for surveys, design and validation before the council’s assessment period begins.

Requests for information, consultation and revisions can extend the timeline. Do not treat an indicative decision date as a guaranteed site start.

More in the knowledge hub

Can we start as soon as planning permission is granted?

Not necessarily. Read the decision notice carefully for any conditions attached.

Check the other approvals and agreements the works need. Design, technical and contractual readiness are separate questions.

On our Kensington houses, the borough then paused new basements for a year.
