There are various facets to the construction side of our company. 

 We have a commercial division and recently completed the refurbishment of a redundant printed circuit factory to form five trade counter units principally for a builders merchant in Galashiels (of about 22,000ft²).   Additionally, we have refurbished another printed circuit factory into a high specification office building for a leading pharmaceutical company (of about 25,000 ft²).

We are currently working on site servicing and ground-works for 11 houses at Lempitlaw near Kelso and we are about to start 24 houses at East End, Earlston.

Another element to the business is the construction of sports pitches.  Previously, we have worked closely with Charles Lawrence plc in constructing a suite of three tennis courts in Ayr, a suite of three tennis courts in Stirling, a suite of three tennis courts in Ponteland and we were main contractors when we recently completed the Volunteer Park Synthetic Hockey Pitch in Hawick and the Multi Use Games area at Kelso High School.

Projects

Last year, we completed the construction of a two storey 10,000ft² office block for an Edinburgh based developer, and a 27,000ft² semi-retail park in Hawick and we are currently constructing a three storey 15,000ft² office block for the same developer.

On the ground-works side, we are working in partnership with James Swinton & Co Limited of Hawick and Berwickshire Housing Association to carry out the earthworks, site servicing, drainage and road construction elements of various schemes in Chirnside, Duns and Eyemouth.  In addition to works on housing estates, we have a surfacing squad, who carry out such varied works as car parks for Scottish Enterprise Borders, cycle paths from Clovenfords to Galashiels for Scottish Borders Council and numerous private roads for local house builders to the numerous steading developments that have sprung up about the Borders.  In addition to this, we carry out final surfacing work for a variety of local house builders completing the roads to adoptable standard for companies such as Murray & Burrell, A& J Stephen and L R Adams Limited.

The masonry squad work closely with Scottish Borders Council on the repair and refurbishment of masonry bridges throughout the Borders, which is appropriate given the company's founder was a mason to trade, originally from Westruther. We have carried out major reconstruction works following accident damage at Ednam Bridge and  Teviot Bridge in Kelso, and refurbishment at Eckford Mill Bridge, Leitholm Bridge and Fogo Bridge.
