Building work in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, on the south shore of the Firth of Forth. It has tenement flats in the Old Town, Georgian terraces in the New Town and suburbs spreading out beyond. Homes here range from tenements, Georgian terraces, villas and bungalows.
We take on full projects rather than single small repairs, so every job is drawn, costed and managed properly. We also work in Livingston, Linlithgow and Falkirk, close to Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is about 57 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 Edinburgh go to City of Edinburgh Council. Our sister company, CWJ Architectural Design Services, prepares them, and we deal with the council through to the completion certificate.
