Chelsea’s commercial streets, the King’s Road, Fulham Road and Sloane Square, are lined with fashion, interiors and design showrooms, restaurants and offices, usually with apartments above, in conservation areas across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Commercial projects here are mostly fit-outs and refurbishments to a high finish standard and a fixed opening date.
What a main contractor has to manage in Chelsea
- Shopfronts, signage and plant need consent in conservation areas, and designs are expected to be of high quality.
- Showroom and retail fit-outs run to fixed opening dates, so procurement of joinery, lighting and finishes starts early.
- Mixed-use buildings need acoustic and fire separation from the flats above, plus coordination with residents and managing agents.
- Kensington and Chelsea’s construction rules require traffic and construction management plans for larger projects.
