Working in the heart of Belgravia
Located within the quiet residential area of Belgravia, London, works at Chester Square were required to adhere to the strict regulations of The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, as well as the prestigious Grosvenor Estate.
Working within the Grosvenor Estate comes with the requirement of membership of the ASUC (The Association of Specialist Underpinning Contractors), of which Knowles has been a member since 2014. Our track-record in delivering schemes of this style and location, is a further example of Knowles’ capability and industry-trust in delivering projects in the most prestigious and sensitive parts of Central London.
