The story
Nick founded NU Projects in 2010. His background is in construction and in the creative industries. He brought both to the design and build of prime London homes.
Nick takes the first call on every project. Key decisions are made together with an experienced senior team. The aim has not changed. Bold ideas become homes people want to live in.
How NU began, the Gucci builders story
How he runs a job
Concept, then detail, in the open. Plans and samples you can hold.
A budget estimate first. Then a fixed cost plan before contract.
One team, under one contract. Weekly reports, so you can see the site.
A handover pack, then aftercare. We stay for the defects period.
