About us

Architect-led, from first sketch to handover.

YAK Design & Construction is an architectural and construction studio based in Central London, serving clients across the capital. Every project is designed by our architects and overseen by them at every stage, from the initial site visit and design, through planning and construction, to the day we hand over the keys.

01

Trust

We build long-term relationships with our clients. Your project is managed by one dedicated team you can rely on.

02

Clear communication

You have a single point of contact and receive regular progress updates, so you always know where your project stands.

03

Architect-led delivery

The architects who design your project oversee it on site, so the finished building reflects the design you approved.

Drawing to building

The design you approve is the building you get.

Because the architects who draw your project are the ones who oversee it on site, nothing is lost between the drawing board and the finished building.
