New Builds and Self Builds 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.
A new home on a plot needs planning, a building warrant and a builder who can take on the whole job. We also work in Livingston, Linlithgow and Falkirk, close to Edinburgh.
Edinburgh is about 57 miles from our Kilmarnock office as the crow flies. Planning and building warrant applications for Edinburgh go to City of Edinburgh Council, and we deal with them for you.

We cannot recommend Cutwood Joinery enough. We have just completed our project which involved removing a wall between our kitchen and dining room, removing doors through to our conservatory, floors brought to same height making it a large open plan space.Susan B.Wall removal and open plan · Google review
The works were well coordinated and carried out quickly, efficiently and to a high standard by talented tradesmen, who had an eye for detail. Communication was excellent and we appreciated Kris keeping us up to date throughout.Suzanne S.Repairs, three trades · Google review
Although the disruption surrounding building works is never pleasant, it has been a pleasure working with Oscar and Kris at Cutwood. ... the end result after 6 months work, certainly so far as the dormer is concerned, is better then we were hoping for.Martin H.Loft and garage conversion · Google review
