About RPR
One complete design and build team from concept to reality.
RPR brings together a team of architectural designers, planning consultants, structural engineers, building surveyors, constuction project managers and construction teams together all under one banner to deliver an all in one turnkey design and build service for our clients.
Our story
Reliable, honest and affordable service in one team with over 80 years experience.
Founded in 2013, RPR was built on the belief that architecture, planning and construction should work together — not in isolation. Over more than a decade we have grown from just providing architecuture and planning services into a firm that covers the full project lifecycle, from initial feasibility and design through to planning consent, building regulations, structural engineering and construction on site.
Our team combines in-house architectural designers, planning consultants, structural engineers and experienced construction project managers and tradesmens. This means our clients benefit from joined-up thinking at every stage — and a single point of accountability from first sketch to final sign-off.
What we bring
Architecture, planning and construction under one roof.
Design clarity
Thoughtful, site-responsive design that balances character, function and long-term value.
Construction delivery
Our own build teams and trusted tradesmen deliver projects on site to a high standard — on programme and within budget.
Where we work
Rooted in the South East. Connected across London.
From our base in Bushey Heath, we work with clients across London, the Home Counties and the South East England. Our local knowledge is paired with a broad perspective on residential design, planning and project development.

Managing Director
Ray Reilly
Ray is the Founder and Managing Director of RPR. He has over 20 years' experience in construction, initially in groundworks before moving into the residential and property sector. Ray holds a degree in Planning and Urban Design with a further Diploma in Architecture and Interior Design. Since qualifying in 2007 he has worked in London as a Planning and Senior Planning Officer across three councils, and with private sector architectural practices, before setting up RPR near the end of 2013 to provide an all-in-one practice covering Planning, Architecture, Engineering, Interior Design and Project Management. In that time he has overseen hundreds of projects through various phases from feasibility to completion for household, property development and commercial clients across London and the Home Counties. One of Ray's main specialities is his knowledge of Planning and Urban Design — maximising the planning potential of development sites and managing dealings with council planning departments. He also particularly enjoys working on homeowner projects, helping clients realise the full potential of their homes and carrying this through to fruition on site. He has established relationships with building contractors, trades and suppliers and has successfully managed and delivered a number of construction projects on site.
