What we build in Edinburgh

The full list is on building services. Planning drawings and warrants are covered on the planning page.

  • House extensions

    Single-storey and larger additions, managed as one contract from structure through finish. Planning and building warrant coordination are part of the work.

  • Two-storey extensions

    Priced in writing from your drawings. A building warrant is required before work starts. Most families stay in the house.

  • Home renovations

    Layout changes, kitchens and bathrooms, period property work, and wider refurbishments.

  • Structural work

    Load-bearing wall removal, steel (RSJ) installation, foundation work, and building warrant compliance for structural changes.

  • Tenement flat renovations

    Full or partial flat renovations, including layout, structure, services and period features, under one contractor with a written price.

  • Main contracting

    Main and principal contractor on residential projects in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Send drawings and tender documents for a written price.

How we price and run a job

  • Fixed-price quotes for the agreed scope. The services page states that projects are delivered under fixed-price JCT contracts.
  • One point of contact. The about page says architects, engineers and trades are coordinated on the job.
  • Daily site logs, photo records and budget tracking are described on the digital build page. Weekly progress is described on the main contracting page.
  • How a project is run sets the written contract, programme and handover beside a separate-trades approach.
  • Heritage and conservation work, including New Town and listed buildings, is on the heritage page.

Frequently asked questions

Are you builders for Edinburgh, or only Midlothian?

We take house extensions, renovations and structural work across Edinburgh and the Lothians. The trading address is 102 Gilmerton Dykes Crescent, Edinburgh, EH17 8JN. District pages cover central and suburban Edinburgh as well as Penicuik and Dalkeith.

Do you do house extensions?

Yes. House extensions and two-storey extensions are published services. We price in writing from drawings where that is how the service page describes the job.

Do I need planning permission or a building warrant?

It depends on the work. Many extensions and structural changes need a building warrant before starting. Conservation areas and listed buildings have extra rules. The planning and heritage pages describe how that is handled. We can talk through an address and drawings on a site visit.

How do you price?

We give a fixed price for the agreed scope. The estimate tool gives a budget range for discussion, not a written price. A written price comes from drawings or a site visit. Ask for a quote or book a site visit by phone or the contact form.

Can you work on tenements and period property?

Yes. Tenement flat renovations are a published service. The Stockbridge and New Town project pages show period work. Heritage constraints are covered on the heritage page.
