Chetwoods use rigorous thinking and radical creativity to push the possibilities of design for living, and bring more colour to the world.

At Chetwoods, our architecture teams use rigorous thinking and radical creativity to push the possibilities of design for living, and bring more colour to the world. We believe that architecture is a vital platform for progress. It influences the way we live, work, interact and collaborate. It affects our health, outlook and attitudes. Its benefits can be profound.

We took to the pitch at the sixth annual Charity Football Tournament, hosted by RAME Consulting Limited, in support of three charities:

🟣 The Lighthouse Charity
⚫ Fulham FC Foundation
🟠 MS Society

The day raised over £15,500. Our thanks go to RAME Consulting Limited for organising it and to every team that took part. It was a pleasure to spend a day in the sun with the industry and to hear from the charity sponsors about the difference their work makes.

More than £600 billion worth of UK property requires energy performance upgrades by 2031. The scale of the challenge is significant — but so is the opportunity.

At Chetwoods, we believe retrofit and adaptive reuse offers one of the most powerful routes to a more sustainable built environment. In many cases, the most sustainable building is the one that already exists.

From improving thermal performance and operational efficiency within existing industrial shells, to preserving the identity of heritage assets while delivering new purpose — retrofit is no longer simply a compliance exercise. It is a value-creation strategy.

By combining digital surveying, BIM modelling and embodied carbon analysis with considered design thinking, existing buildings can be transformed into high-performing, future-ready environments — reducing carbon, unlocking value and extending the life of assets that might otherwise be lost.

Epicentre is a conceptual scheme exploring a self-sustaining, self-supporting community built around logistics and connectivity.

Spanning 46,500sqm, the concept establishes flexible logistics units alongside the infrastructure needed to support a thriving community — from transport connections to green space. This demonstrates our inclusive approach to the sector's biggest challenges.

We're pleased to share that our scheme at Claverings Industrial Estate for Danescroft has been shortlisted for the New London Awards 2026 in the Industrial & Logistics category.

Designed by Chetwoods for Danescroft and Fiera Real Estate UK, the masterplan regenerates a key site in Edmonton, North London, transforming a dated industrial estate into a high-quality urban logistics hub in Enfield. The scheme delivers seven new industrial and warehouse units ranging from 11,300 to 70,000 sq ft, designed with flexibility to support modern logistics, manufacturing and distribution uses, with long-term adaptability at its core.

Sustainability is embedded throughout, with a fabric-first approach, low-carbon materials, and targets of BREEAM Excellent and EPC A+. A strong landscape strategy, including tree retention and new planting, enhances biodiversity and supports occupier wellbeing.

Winners will be announced at the NLA Awards Lunch on the 19th of November 2026.

Our take on the Draft London Plan 2026, and for industrial and logistics.

What stands out in the draft London Plan is the recognition that industrial and logistics space, and data centre capacity, are now being planned for as distinct, strategic uses in their own right. The Mayor's ambition to make London a global hub for green data centres and AI infrastructure is a clear signal of intent, particularly when paired with dedicated provision for logistics and freight.

Overall, this is a plan trying to do two difficult things at once: unlock housing delivery at scale while protecting the industrial and logistics capacity London depends on. Getting that balance right, particularly around data infrastructure and power capacity, will be the real test as the plan moves through consultation and examination.

The consultation is open until 15 October 2026.

We'll be reviewing the draft Plan closely over the coming weeks — swipe through for our take on it→

Our Head of Digital at Chetwoods, Sagal Rooble, has been shortlisted for the Inspiring Women in Construction & Engineering Awards 2026 in the Contribution to a Project category.

Sagal champions a people-centred approach to digital delivery, embedding data-driven BIM processes, leading information management strategy, and making complex digital workflows accessible to teams at every level. Her work has contributed to a 20% improvement in project delivery times and a 15% reduction in costs through enhanced coordination and reduced rework.

The awards ceremony takes place on Wednesday 16 September 2026.

From 1 July 2026, the UK government's planned cap on tariff-free steel imports is set to reshape material choices across the construction industry.

Rather than asking timber or steel? Perhaps it's time to ask: how can we use both more intelligently?

Structural timber – from Glulam and CLT to hybrid systems – continues to prove its value, sequesters carbon rather than emitting it, while creating healthy, biophilic spaces.

At the same time, not all steel is created equal. Specifying lower-carbon steel, including steel produced in electric arc furnaces powered by renewable electricity, can significantly reduce embodied carbon.

Whilst initiatives such as award-winning project RESTOR demonstrate how investigating the potential reuse of steel through technology could offer more sustainable outcomes.

The new tariffs present challenges for the sector, but they also create an opportunity to rethink material selection, embrace hybrid construction, and prioritise performance alongside carbon reduction.

Our Regional Director, Tom Humphries, has been appointed as an Expert Assessor for the NLA Awards 2026, Industrial and Logistics.

Tom will join a panel of industry experts to review submissions from across London's built environment, in the industrial and logistics sector. The appointment reflects his extensive experience across the built environment sector and Chetwoods' long-standing commitment to delivering thoughtful, more sustainable designs within this sector. We're delighted that this expertise will help recognise the projects shaping London's future.

Chetwoods, Project RESTOR, has won the AJ100 Climate Initiative of the Year Award 2026.

Chetwoods acted as the Industry partner alongside the Universities of Cambridge and Birmingham.

“Praised the ambition and scalability of this important project to promote re-use rather than more energy-intensive recycling” – AJ100 Judging Panel.

Project RESTOR (Reuse of Structural Steel in Construction) addresses one of the construction industry's biggest sustainability challenges in terms of materials: the potential for the reuse of structural steel.

In the UK, only 15% of steel is reused, with the remainder typically melted down and recycled - an energy-intensive and carbon-heavy process. RESTOR seeks to transform this approach by developing a digital pathway for the efficient, scalable, and low-energy reuse of structural steel.

Congratulations to all involved in the project 🎉
