From first idea to finished building
Starting a building project can be daunting. You may have a site or an existing building and a clear ambition, but be less certain about what is possible, what it will cost, how planning will be approached or where to begin.
We help define the brief, understand the opportunities and constraints, establish a realistic budget and identify the best route forward before you commit to significant expenditure.
Design shaped around you
We start by listening. Understanding your ambitions, priorities and how you want to live, work or develop your business is the starting point for the design, rather than arriving with a predetermined solution.
Clarity through the process
From feasibility and planning through to technical design and construction, we guide the decisions that turn an initial idea into a completed building.
Experience where it matters
Nearly 30 years of working across Scotland has given us extensive experience of challenging sites, planning, construction and delivering buildings in demanding environments.
From our studios in Skye and Glasgow, we work across the Highlands, rural Scotland, the central belt and further afield.
Sustainability is considered throughout, from siting, orientation and energy performance to embodied carbon, material choice, durability and reuse. Our aim is to create buildings that perform well and remain useful for the long term.
Bringing everything together
As the project develops, we lead the design and coordinate the wider consultant team, bringing together planning, technical, cost and construction requirements.
Our service is tailored to each project, from early advice and consents through to detailed design, procurement and construction.
