Building work in Dumfries
Dumfries is the main town in Dumfries and Galloway, set on the River Nith in the south-west of Scotland. It has a busy town centre, with farmland stretching out all around it.
We take on full projects rather than single small repairs, so every job is drawn, costed and managed properly. We also work in Castle Douglas, Newton Stewart and Cumnock, close to Dumfries.
Dumfries is about 52 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. We take on larger projects here: extensions, full renovations and new builds. Planning and building warrant applications for Dumfries go to Dumfries and Galloway Council. Our sister company, CWJ Architectural Design Services, prepares them, and we deal with the council through to the completion certificate.
