Alongside its residential squares, Belgravia has offices, embassies, galleries and the shops and restaurants around Motcomb Street, Elizabeth Street and Pimlico Road. Commercial work here usually means fitting out or refurbishing space inside listed buildings, often for a landlord or estate with strict standards, and often while the rest of the building stays occupied.
What a main contractor has to manage in Belgravia
- Listed building consent and estate approvals: fit-outs and refurbishments need the landlord’s licence and often listed building consent. Drawings, method statements and specifications are submitted and approved before work starts.
- Live buildings: work around residents, tenants and embassies, with agreed working hours, phasing, noise and dust control and protection of common parts.
- Logistics: limited loading and no space for site compounds. Deliveries are scheduled and waste is removed little and often.
- Investment property: for landlords, specification is tied to letting and long-term maintenance, which affects material and system choices from the start.
