Concrete frame contractors across Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s frame market balances heritage-sensitive city-centre construction with growing commercial and residential development around the New Town fringe, Fountainbridge and the Granton and Leith waterfront. Grade-A offices favour post-tensioned slabs for clear spans and shallow floors, while waterfront regeneration sustains residential frame pipelines.
Tight historic settings and a World Heritage core demand low-vibration construction and carefully planned logistics. Frames are designed and built to Scottish Building Standards, and our network covers Edinburgh and the wider Lothians.
