Design & Build Contractors Delivering Considered London Homes
Most renovation problems start in the gap between the architect and the builder: drawings that can’t be built for the budget, details nobody owns, and a homeowner stuck in the middle. Our design and build service closes that gap. We design, engineer and build your project under one contract, with one team responsible from the first sketch to the final handover.
Since 2015 we’ve delivered over 180 projects across London, from extensions and loft conversions to full renovations, listed buildings and new homes. Design is handled in-house by S & M Design Ltd, so everything we draw is practical, buildable and priced before work starts on site.

You deal with one company for design, planning, structural engineering, Building Regs and construction. Nobody passes problems between consultants and contractors.
Our designers work alongside the people who build, so every scheme is buildable and priced realistically from the start.
Your estimate is based on a defined scope and detailed drawings. Everything included is listed, and anything that can’t be priced until work starts is flagged up front.
Every project is managed by an experienced construction professional with over 22 years in the industry, with fortnightly site meetings and live updates through our client portal. You always know where things stand and who’s responsible.
Tell us about your project, property and budget. We review every enquiry personally and, if it’s a good fit, visit the property to talk through what you want to achieve and what the site allows.
Our in-house team designs the scheme, handles planning or permitted development, and prepares the structural and Building Regulations drawings.
With the drawings in place, we prepare a detailed written estimate and go through it with you in person, line by line, so you know exactly what’s included.
Once the contract is signed, we programme the works and start on site. You get fortnightly site meetings and live updates through our client portal. At the end, we walk through the finished work with you and stay on hand after handover.
What is design and build?
One company designs, engineers and builds your project under one contract. You don’t have to manage an architect and a builder separately, and there’s one team responsible from the first sketch to handover.
Do you handle planning and Building Regulations?
Yes. Our in-house team prepares the planning or permitted development application, the structural design and the Building Regulations drawings, and deals with the council and building control for you.
Is design and build more expensive?
Not necessarily. Because the scheme is designed with the build and budget in mind from the start, your estimate is based on detailed drawings and a defined scope, and anything that can’t be priced yet is flagged up front.
Can you work from my existing drawings?
Yes, we can price from them. The service works best, though, when we’re involved from the start.
Do you work on listed buildings and in conservation areas?
Yes. We’ve completed a Grade II listed refurbishment in East London and work regularly in the Greenwich and Blackheath conservation areas.
Which areas do you cover?
We’re based in Blackheath and work across South East, Central and East London.
Planning an extension, loft conversion, renovation or new home in London? Tell us about it. We review every enquiry personally and, if it’s the right fit, we’ll arrange a site visit to talk it through.
