New build construction

 

Looking for house builders in Edinburgh?

UK new build construction output is just 50% of what it should be year after year. UK new-build housing market is in crisis. Current market conditions are being reflected in the number of self-build projects being taken on, and these are due to rise in numbers.

Mainstream house builders in Edinburgh and beyond are building less new build houses than market requires. Quality accommodation, especially detached family homes built to high standards is scarce. The reality is that quantity and quality of new build houses is generally poor. Having seen many housing developments in and outside of Edinburgh, and despite properties being structurally sound, the standard of finish is less impressive than discerning house buyers would expect.

 

Quality Edinburgh house builder you can trust

We think that the quality is paramount. Every house that we build comes with highest quality of finish as standard. We build each home with as much attention to detail as if we were building for ourselves. Not only that. We decided to adopt modern method of construction as endorsed by the government. Our houses are built using highly thermally efficient blocks, and only one skin is of blocks is required. This is called a solid wall construction. On the outside external wall insulation is applied with render on top. This method ensures that building envelope is tightly and entirely insulated, virtually eliminating any cold bridging. No more cavity wall construction or timber frame. This one simple method is one of modern methods of construction in the UK, and has been used for decades in continental Europe, especially in Germany.

High U-values are achieveable without compromising budget. Standard house built using this method easily exceeds minimal 0.19 U-Value for walls which applies in Scotland. In fact, with minimum effort a Passive House standard can easily be achieved.
