Local advantage
Why East Sheen homeowners choose DPS for house extensions.
01 · LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
We know the Richmond upon Thames planning quirks.
Conservation areas, Article 4 directions, party-wall hotspots — every Richmond upon Thames street has its own permission map.
We have submitted dozens of approved schemes across East Sheen and the surrounding postcodes.
02 · ONE TEAM
Architects, builders, project managers — all in-house.
No subcontractor juggling. From the first sketch through structural engineering to final snagging, your project moves
through people who all sit in the same office and answer to the same project manager.
03 · TRANSPARENT PRICING
From £2,500 / m² — itemised and fixed.
You pay in stages, only after each stage is signed off. Variations only happen when scope genuinely changes — and
they go through written authorisation, never a verbal "while we are at it".
