Developments

From listed building conversions and mixed-use schemes to new-build homes and industrial yards, we take developments from feasibility and planning through to building warrant and delivery. A selection of current and recent schemes is shown below.

Mountcow Farm Haulage Yard

Planning approved  ·  Building warrant pending

A commercial development of three large-scale industrial units for a haulage yard, designed around HGV access, loading bays and secure parking. The site sat well below the level of the road, so the scheme includes approximately 45,000m³ of infill to raise and level the yard to road level, a substantial earthworks operation planned alongside the building design.

Grade II Listed Conversion · Newcastle upon Tyne

Phoenix House

Planning permission pending

Conversion of a Grade II listed building into a mixed-use scheme, with retail at basement level and apartments on the floors above. The design respects the building’s historic fabric, from the grand stairwell and roof lantern to the original stained glass, while bringing the upper floors back into use as homes.

New-Build Residential · Muirkirk

Muirkirk New-Build Homes

Planning & building warrant pending

New-build family homes, designed from the outside in. Alongside the architectural design, we produced a full set of interior visualisations so the client could see every room, from the living spaces and kitchen to the bedrooms, before construction began.

Reports & Surveys

Structural Condition & Repair Statement · Airdrie

A derelict dwelling within a conservation area, where an earlier application to demolish had been refused. We were appointed by the project’s planning consultant to carry out an independent survey and structural review in support of the new application, assessing the roof, floors, structural timbers, masonry and chimney against the Building (Scotland) Regulations, together with an assessment of whether repair was financially viable. Our report demonstrated that the building was beyond economical repair and a risk to public safety, supporting the case for demolition.

◆  Outcome: Demolition approved, October 2026
