Architectural Design Coordination in Mayfair — Planning & Briefing

This Mayfair page is for an architectural design coordination on georgian townhouses & flats around W1: photographs, access and the full unit postcode decide the next written step. Extensions, lofts and reconfigurations scoped for feasibility, planning drawings and build coordination. Formal planning decisions remain with the responsible authority. Period fabric around Mayfair often means layered alterations, solid walls and services that have been changed over decades — feasibility, drawings or schedules, and authority questions must be read from the unit, not from the neighbourhood name. Read this Mayfair architectural design coordination brief against “Charles Street”. That is a street often referenced for Mayfair (W1). Confirm the exact unit — not the street label alone. The written scope still follows photographs of the unit. Westminster's Mayfair Conservation Area can affect visible external work; formal consent stays with the responsible authority for the exact address. We confirm deliverables and written appointment before detailed work — never a marketplace of random freelancers.

  2. Photograph fabric and access

  3. Submit a private brief

    Use the online brief or call. We review the Mayfair evidence against fabric, access, freeholder or authority constraints and current capacity before anyone is programmed.

  5. Programme and complete under written terms

    When accepted, works are sequenced for Mayfair access and occupancy under Hampstead Renovations or Hampstead Maintenance, with snagging as agreed in writing.
