How we design and manage it from London.
Nick Jeffries founded NU Projects in London in 2010. Sixteen years of prime homes in Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Belgravia. That standard, carried to Al Barari.
- 01The brief. How you live, who with, and what each room has to do.
- 02The design, from London. Layouts, materials, lighting and joinery, drawn and scheduled. Nothing left to site.
- 03Joinery by Cochrane Bespoke. Kitchens, wardrobes, libraries and media units, drawn with the room they go into.
- 04Priced in the open. A budget estimate, then a line-by-line cost plan by our own quantity surveyor.
- 05Tendered and managed. Vetted contractors tender for the work. We appoint and manage them for you.
