Private, commercial and global
From a tired flat to a commercial scheme. Refurbishment, restoration, design, architecture, planning and the legal work that has to sit beside them.

Development
A room, a flat or a whole building brought back to a standard you can let, sell or occupy.
Private
Private refurbishments are scoped room by room. We agree what is strip-out, what is kept, and what the occupier needs the place to do when we leave.
Commercial
Commercial refurbishment covers offices, retail and common parts. Access, neighbours and the trading day are planned before the first tool comes out.

Development
Older fabric repaired so it still looks like the building, not a replacement that pretends.
Private
Townhouses, flats and period homes. We repair what can be saved and say clearly when a section has to be renewed.
Commercial
Listed and older commercial buildings need the same honesty: what is original, what is later, and what the planner will accept.

Development
Schemes for space that earns: fit-out, conversion and the building works around a business.
Private
Private owners developing a building they will let commercially. The brief is the tenant you want, not a domestic finish.
Commercial
Occupiers and developers. We coordinate the building works around how the business actually uses the space.

Development
The inside of the building, specified so it can be built, not only drawn.
Private
Homes and private apartments. Layout, finish and the joinery that has to survive daily use.
Commercial
Receptions, offices and retail floors. The design has to work with brand, access and how staff or customers move.

Development
The design of the building, instructed with the practice that fits the job.
Private
Extensions, reconfiguration and new private work. We match the instruction to the building and stay on it through delivery.
Commercial
Commercial architecture for alterations and new space. The drawing and the site have to agree.

Development
Applications, conditions and the conversation with the borough before you spend the build money.
Private
Householder applications, lawful development and the conditions that catch a private job after consent.
Commercial
Change of use, commercial alterations and the conditions a borough attaches to a trading building.

Development
Party wall, licences, leases and the solicitor the scheme actually needs. We coordinate. We are not a law firm.
Private
Private jobs: party wall awards, licences to alter, and the paperwork a freeholder asks for before work starts.
Commercial
Commercial jobs: leases, licences and the documents a landlord or occupier needs before a contractor is allowed on site.

We scope private flats across London before anyone strips a wall. The price follows the scope.
Commercial refurbishment is instructed the same way, with access and hours written down first.
We inspect first. A Mayfair or Chelsea townhouse is not quoted as a modern strip-out from a photograph.
Older offices and retail units are scoped the same way, with planning constraints named before the price.
We take the use of the space first, then the building work. Offices, retail and mixed buildings.
Private owners and developers use the same desk. Planning and the works are not priced as one guess.
Private interiors are specified so a contractor can build them. We do not hand you a mood board and leave.
Offices and retail are designed around the working day, then delivered.
We instruct architecture for private extensions and reconfiguration, then stay with the build.
Office and retail alterations are scoped with an architectural practice, not drawn in isolation from the site.
We prepare private planning with the borough in mind, not a generic form.
Commercial change of use is a separate instruction. We do not bury it inside a refurbishment price.
We coordinate party wall and licences on private works. A regulated adviser does the legal advice. We are not a law firm.
Commercial licences and lease points are coordinated the same way, with a solicitor where the document needs one.
