Building across London, from the ground up
Solmaz is a London builder working on homes, rental properties and commercial premises right across the capital. Our construction services run from new builds and extensions to structural alterations and full refurbishments, and we look after each job from the first site survey through to the final handover. Every project is led by an experienced site manager who owns the programme, the budget and the paperwork, so there is always one person who knows exactly where things stand. We work to the current building regulations, keep records in order for building control, and hand back a property that is finished, tested and ready to use.
Most of our trades sit within the business rather than being sub-let to whoever is free that week. Bricklayers, carpenters, electricians and finishers work as one team, which keeps standards even and makes it easy to see who is responsible for what. Our approach to construction in London stays the same whether the job is a single-storey rear extension or a block of flats: the trades are sequenced sensibly, the client is kept informed at each stage, and the site is left clean and secure at the end of every day. Working in the capital also means we plan around tight access, parking restrictions and neighbours, so the job runs without unnecessary friction.
How a Solmaz site is run
Every piece of building work carries risk around cost, time and quality, and most of that risk is settled before anyone lifts a tool. We price the job in detail and in writing, agree the scope clearly, and set out a realistic programme so you know what happens and when. During the build you deal with one point of contact, not a rotating cast, and any change to the work is confirmed in writing before it goes ahead rather than appearing as a surprise at the end. Health and safety is treated as part of the day job, with the site kept tidy, access controlled and waste cleared regularly. Our standing on construction in London sites comes from finishing to specification, on programme, and leaving clients willing to recommend us.
One site manager, start to finish
A single manager runs the programme, the trades and the safety on your job, so nothing falls between the gaps.
Trades kept in-house
Our core trades are directly employed, which keeps quality steady and accountability clear.
Built to the regulations
Work is carried out to the building regulations and checked at each stage before it is signed off.
Priced and planned up front
A detailed quote and a clear programme mean no hidden costs between the estimate and the handover.
The work we take on
-
New builds:
We build houses and commercial units from the ground up, taking in groundworks, foundations, structure, roofing and internal fit-out, so a scheme can be delivered by one team under a single contract. -
Extensions and structural work:
Side, rear, wrap-around and loft extensions, load-bearing wall removals, steel installation and basement conversions, all designed to sit properly with the existing property. -
Refurbishment and fit-out:
Full and partial refurbishments for homes, offices and retail units, from stripping out and first fix through to decoration and final finishes, delivered as part of our wider construction services.
Questions we are asked most
Do you take on both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. We work on private houses, landlord properties, offices and retail units across London, and we size the team to match the job. Whether it is a single room or a whole building, the same construction services and site standards apply, and the scope is agreed before any work starts.
Who will I be dealing with during the build?
One dedicated site manager. They run the day to day work, coordinate the trades and keep you updated, so you always know who to call and exactly what stage the building work has reached without chasing several different people.
How do you keep the site safe and tidy?
We follow a site management plan on every job. The working area is kept clean, access is controlled, materials are stored safely and waste is removed regularly. On occupied properties we also protect the parts of the building that are not being worked on.
Can the work be done for a fixed price?
In most cases, yes. Once the drawings and scope are settled we provide a detailed, itemised quotation so you can see exactly what is included before committing. If something needs to change during the build, we agree the cost and the effect on the programme in writing first.
Do you handle building control and planning?
We can manage building control sign-off and work alongside your architect or planning consultant, arranging the inspections needed as the job progresses. For schemes that require permission, our planning and consultancy team can advise on what is involved.
How long will my project take?
It depends on the scope. A straightforward extension may take a couple of months, while a full refurbishment or a new build runs considerably longer. We give a realistic programme with the quotation and keep the building work tracking against it, flagging anything that could affect the dates early.
