Design and Build for London Property Developers
Integrated design and build for independent and boutique London developers — schemes designed around ROI, planning strategy, and cost-effective space that lifts property value.
From Site Potential to Construction Delivery
Every scheme begins with a clear understanding of what's deliverable on the plot. We assess policy, density and viability to unlock site value — whether through rezoning, change of use, or optimised unit density — and carry the scheme through to handover.
Our Core Services for Developers
- Feasibility, density analysis, and site appraisal
- Rezoning, change of use, and planning strategy
- Planning applications, appeals, and rescued submissions
- Technical and construction drawings
- Project management and build coordination
- ROI optimisation across design and construction

Extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments across London — designed, approved and built by the same in-house team. One point of contact from first sketch to final coat of paint.

Margin on a London scheme is made or lost at design stage, not on site. We start with the numbers — cost per GIA, expected yield or sale price, density limits the local plan will tolerate — and design backwards from there.
That means prioritising the interventions that add the most £/m² (rear extensions, loft conversions, layout reconfiguration that unlocks an extra unit) over the most expensive ones, and matching finish specifications to the rent or resale band you're actually targeting. No over-spec, no under-spec, no value engineering on site after the budget is already committed.
Because the same team designs, plans and builds the scheme, decisions made at feasibility carry through to construction without translation loss.
Refused Planning? We Rescue Schemes Every Week
Around 20% of the schemes we take on were previously refused — either by the planning committee or by delegated officers. We read the refusal notice carefully, separate policy grounds from design grounds, and redesign the application for approval.
Most refusals aren't fatal. Density concerns, parking, biodiversity net gain, daylight/sunlight, overlooking — each has a route through if you know the local plan and the case officers. Send us the refusal notice and we'll tell you honestly whether the scheme can be saved.

Areas We Cover Across London
We work on development schemes across London, with deep familiarity in these boroughs and their local plans:
We also deliver schemes across Bromley, Lambeth, Merton and other London boroughs.
We start with what the developer wants to achieve — yield, density, exit value — then work backwards through planning, design and construction to make sure every detail supports that goal.
Have a site under offer or a scheme to feasibility-check?
We'll review a site, an application in preparation, or a refused scheme and give you clear, actionable guidance on what's deliverable and what it's worth.
