Our expertise encompasses complex civil engineering and multi-million-pound contracts. Clients benefit from our ISO-certified quality management systems and 50+ years of local experience.

Our residential services include social housing schemes and private developments. We've completed 27 one-bedroom flats for Hjaltland Housing Association and energy-efficient homes in South Nesting. All projects meet strict environmental standards and local planning requirements.

Our Lerwick-based merchants supplies timber, insulation, plumbing products, and construction materials to trade and retail customers. We offer timber cutting services, delivery options, and special orders through our extensive supplier network across Shetland.
Garden Sheds
We produce 'Shetland Standard' garden sheds designed to withstand harsh maritime climates. Available in 8'x6' and 10'x8' sizes, these sheds can be supplied fully erected or flat-packed. Custom designs are also available to meet specific requirements.

Our domestic services range from minor joinery to comprehensive refurbishments. The award-winning Tollbooth restoration project demonstrates our attention to detail. We handle maintenance contracts and small-scale domestic projects with the same care as major developments.
