Design, Specification & Delivery for Prime Central London Developments

At CIE London, we partner with developers, architects and design teams to deliver bespoke kitchens for prime and super prime residential projects across London.

We are not a retail showroom.
We are a design, specification and project delivery partner operating within complex, high-value residential schemes.

From early-stage coordination through to installation and commissioning, CIE ensures kitchens are delivered with precision, programme awareness and uncompromising finish quality.

Who we work with

  • Prime Central London developers
  • Private client representatives
  • Architectural practices
  • Interior design studios
  • Main contractors delivering high-value residential projects

We understand the commercial, technical and reputational pressures associated with super prime developments.

Our Role Within your Development

1. Early Design & Spatial Coordination

We engage during RIBA Stage 2–3 to:

  • Align kitchen layouts with architectural intent
  • Confirm spatial allowances and service requirements
  • Coordinate appliance specification
  • Integrate structural, mechanical and lighting considerations
  • Provide realistic budget forecasting

Our early involvement prevents redesign risk and costly project overruns.

2. Detailed Technical Specification

Super prime kitchens demand technical precision. CIE London provides:

  • Full production drawing packages
  • Service coordination drawings
  • Appliance integration planning
  • Stone and surface interface detailing
  • Finish schedules aligned with interior schemes

This critical documentation supports smooth contractor coordination and avoids site ambiguity, crucial to the smooth
running of a project.

3. Project Management & Site Delivery

We manage the kitchen package through:

  • Manufacturing process
  • Programme alignment with main contractor
  • Site supervision
  • Installation management
  • Commissioning and handover

Our team understands sequencing within high-end residential builds, where access constraints and programme sensitivity are critical.

Yes. We are experienced in working within discreet, high-value environments where communication, confidentiality and finish quality are paramount.

  • Structured design-to-installation process
  • Strong understanding of construction environments
