Design & Build in Bromley
Design and build is a project delivery approach where one contractor is responsible for both developing the design and constructing the project, giving the client a single point of accountability for cost, programme and quality rather than coordinating separate designers and contractors.
In Bromley, that covers Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley. Bromley is one of the greenest London boroughs, with a historic High Street and residential areas ranging from Beckenham and Orpington's Victorian and interwar housing to the more rural character around Chislehurst and Hayes, close to the Kent border and within easy reach of our Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells teams.

Property styles in Bromley
Bromley's housing stock includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas near the town centre and in Beckenham, substantial interwar detached and semi-detached houses across Orpington, Petts Wood and Bickley, and larger period properties around Chislehurst and Hayes, many on generous plots suited to rear and double-storey extensions.
Planning considerations
Bromley Council (London Borough of Bromley) is the local planning authority. Chislehurst and parts of Beckenham and Hayes are conservation areas, and much of the borough's southern and eastern edge is designated Metropolitan Green Belt, which restricts new buildings and substantial additions beyond normal permitted development limits.

FAQs
Design & Build in Bromley: FAQs
Do you provide design & build across all of Bromley?
Yes, we cover the BR1 and BR2 and BR3 and BR4 and BR5 and BR6 and BR7 postcode areas in full, including Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood, Hayes, Bickley.
What is the difference between design and build and a traditional contract?
In a traditional route, you appoint an architect who designs the project and administers a separate contract with a builder. In design and build, one contractor is responsible for both the design development and the construction, giving a single point of accountability for cost and programme.
Do I still get an architect-quality design under design and build?
Yes. Design and build does not mean a lesser design service — it means the design and construction responsibility sits with one team. We work with qualified designers and, where useful, can introduce you to independent architects within the design-and-build process.
Do you work across all of the Bromley postcode areas?
Yes, we cover BR1 to BR7, including Bromley town centre, Beckenham, Orpington, West Wickham, Chislehurst, Petts Wood and Hayes.
