We know Bromley because we build here
Bromley’s houses come with their own quirks: 1930s semis with hipped roofs that suit a hip-to-gable loft, Victorian villas in Bickley and Shortlands, clay soils and big trees that affect foundations, and conservation areas in places like Chislehurst. We know which properties are likely to need pre-application advice, where ground conditions change the foundation design, and how to manage deliveries on tight residential streets.
Planning and building control
We work with Bromley’s planning and building control teams regularly. We can advise on planning, prepare and review drawings, and coordinate inspections and sign-off, so you can concentrate on the result.
