Renovation project management in Notting Hill.
Client-side project management for homeowners renovating a period home in Notting Hill, where conservation area coverage is close to universal.
Notting Hill's colourful stucco-fronted terraces sit almost entirely within conservation areas, which means front elevations, render colour and window replacement are all closely controlled, alongside the usual permitted development rules for rear and side-return extensions. Where a change is visible from the street, expect a planning application rather than an assumption that the work is automatically allowed.
Many properties here have already been renovated at least once, often to a high specification, which shifts the brief toward reconfiguring or extending existing work rather than a first renovation — and makes it worth understanding exactly what a previous owner's work actually achieved structurally before building on top of it.
The specification bar in this part of London is high, and that's where a project manager's trade-price sourcing on kitchens, bathrooms and joinery has the most obvious commercial impact — alongside the ordinary work of reviewing quotations, tracking variations and keeping a project moving through conservation area sign-off.
Support at the level Notting Hill 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 Notting Hill, 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.
