Local knowledge

Working across the region

Housing stock varies a lot across this part of Scotland: tenement flats, Victorian terraces and New Town properties in Edinburgh, market towns and rural sites across the Lothians, and coastal and suburban homes throughout Fife. Each brings its own considerations when it comes to extensions, conversions and building standards.

We prepare building warrant plans for property owners across all five council areas, working with each authority's requirements from the initial design stage through to submission.
