How we work

A proven process *designed to protect you*

Every Design Build London project moves through the same four phases. Each phase has a clear deliverable, a defined cost and a transparent handover.


A proven process designed to protect you. Every Design Build London project moves through the same four phases. Each phase has a clear deliverable, a defined cost and a transparent handover into the next.

Phase 1: Discover and Define

A measured and photographic survey of your property, a structured brief workshop and a feasibility review. By the end of phase one you know what is possible, what it will cost in broad terms and whether the project is right for you. We use an intrinsic measured and photographic survey method so nothing is assumed.

Phase 2: Design and Develop

Concept design, planning submission, building regulations drawings and an itemised cost plan. You sign nothing on site until phase two is complete and you are happy. Our design and coordination costs are bundled into the build cost, so there are no separate architect fees.

Phase 3: Construct and Create

The build. In house teams, weekly progress reports, invoicing in arrears against signed-off work, and a project manager who is contactable at all times. We adopt a zero-deposit payment process, so you only pay for work that has been completed and inspected.

Phase 4: Complete and Care

Final snagging, building control sign off, an aftercare visit at six and twelve months, and an insurance-backed guarantee. Your project is not finished when we leave, it is finished when you are happy.
