About us
A design and build contractor you can actually trust.
Metro Design & Build is a design and build contractor working across East London and Essex, built on more than 40 years of experience in the team behind it.
Our story
One contractor, the whole journey.
Most building projects involve handing your project between several different companies — an architect, then a separate building firm, then whichever trades that firm brings in. Every handover is a chance for something to get lost: a detail forgotten, a decision nobody owns, a timeline that quietly slips.
Metro was built to remove those handovers. We design it, we plan it, and we build it — one team, one point of contact, from your first conversation with us to the day the work is finished.
Our approach
Fewer projects, full focus.
We deliberately limit how many projects we run at once. It's not how most building companies operate, but it's how we keep close to the detail on every single job — and stay genuinely committed to getting it right, rather than spreading our attention across more sites than we can properly manage.
When you work with Metro, you're not one of fifty. You're one of a handful — and it shows in the finish.
Who we work with
Across home, commercial and education.
We work with private homeowners planning an extension or renovation, alongside housing associations and building consultants delivering larger residential, commercial and educational projects.
The scale changes; the process doesn't. Whether it's a rear extension in Romford or a multi-unit scheme in Essex, the same team runs it to the same standard.
- Private homeowners in East London & Essex

- Commercial and institutional clients
- Building consultants who need one reliable contractor
How we work
Design. Plan. Build.
The same simple framework behind every project we take on, whatever the size.
Design
A free consultation and proper site survey. Then a design that fits how you actually live or work — not a generic template.
Plan
We prepare drawings, submit to planning and handle Building Control — so you're not navigating the council on your own.
Build
The same team that designed it builds it. One point of contact, quality checked at every stage, start to finish.
