Renovation project management in Battersea.
Client-side project management for homeowners extending or renovating in Battersea, from Battersea Square to the streets around the park.
Battersea mixes the classic South West London Victorian terrace with pockets of newer development close to the river and the regenerated Power Station area — two very different renovation briefs under one postcode. On the terraced streets, the side-return and rear extension remain the default project, opening up a closed-off kitchen into the garden.
Battersea Square and several surrounding streets are conservation areas, which puts extra scrutiny on front elevations, rooflines and materials, and can restrict permitted development rights that a neighbour's older extension may have benefited from. As with the rest of this part of London, shallow Victorian foundations are the recurring surprise on rear extensions — a structural picture worth establishing before a builder's quote is treated as final.
A project manager's job here is straightforward: catch the omissions before they become variations, source kitchens and fittings at trade rather than retail prices, and keep a live budget so nothing drifts quietly upward while you're focused on everything else a renovation demands of your time.
Support at the level Battersea projects need.
From a one-off review of quotes already in hand, to full day-to-day management of the build.
No two projects are the same.
Some homeowners want the full service — quotations reviewed before anything is signed, then day-to-day management right through to snagging. Others simply want the reassurance of having someone they trust on their side during the build, without the fees that come with asking an architect to do it. Most people sit somewhere in between.
So there is no fixed price list. Tell me what you are building in Battersea, where you have got to and how involved you would like me to be, and I am sure we can work something out.

Ben was an absolute godsend and honestly could not have coped without him on our project. He kept everything calm throughout and was only a call away whenever we needed him.
We are so glad we found Ben. He was recommended to us on our street WhatsApp group. If you are considering a project manager for your build, we can’t imagine anyone better. His knowledge and ability to problem solve saved us so much stress and money!
We instructed Ben mid-build as we were finding it too overwhelming with a newborn and work commitments. From our first meeting we knew it was the best money we could spend. Ben was always one step ahead of our builder and saved us so many headaches. We absolutely love our home.
Ben was by far the best thing we invested in for our project — there is no way this could have happened without him. We were not in London for the whole project; everything was done remotely, through Ben and the builders. Recommending him is an absolute no-brainer.
Tell me what you're building, and I'll suggest where to start.
