Extensions and new builds, handled properly.
Design, costing and build under one roof. From the first sketch to the completion certificate, there is nobody else for you to find.
One company, start to finish.
We are an Ayrshire joinery and construction company working across Ayrshire and the west of Scotland. Feasibility, drawings and the building warrant, costing by our own quantity surveyors, and the build itself, all handled by one team.
End to end
Design, costing and build all sit under one roof, so there is nobody in the middle and nobody to blame.
Fully managed
We run the project. No trades to chase and no council to deal with. Your part is deciding what you want.
Timely communication
You hear from us before you have to ask, including when something on the job changes or moves.
Care on site
Most clients live at home while we work. We keep the work area separate and leave the house clean daily.
Our own team
Our own joiners and plumbers do the work, so the people in your house know exactly how we run a job.
Clear pricing
Priced from the warrant drawings, with finishing items listed one by one and exclusions written down.

Most homeowners hire an architect, then try to find a builder to match the drawings. With design and build, one company does both, and that changes how the whole project runs.
One contract, one company
Design, costing and build sit with one firm. If something needs sorting, one company answers for it, not an architect and a builder.
Cost in mind from the first sketch
Our designers work alongside our quantity surveyors and site team, so the build cost is considered while the drawings are made.
Drawings that suit the build
The people drawing your project work with the people building it, so the details are worked out before anything reaches site.
No gaps between stages
No handover from one firm to another between design, warrant and build. One team carries it from first visit to completion.
We deal with the council
We handle planning and the building warrant, and deal with the council for you right through to the completion certificate.
A clear price before we start
You get approved drawings, a building warrant and a written build price, with finishing items priced and exclusions written down.

Warrant drawings
Our sister design company draws it up and handles planning and the building warrant.

The Lookout, Troon
A public kiosk on the Troon seafront, rebuilt inside and out: new public toilets, a cafe fit-out, new cladding and roof repairs, in a busy public space and run by our own project manager.
