Kevin Main

This traditional style "croft" 1.1/2 storey project is virtually complete with only a small number of "snagging" items requiring attention. The Client originally intended to purchase his house kit from a mainland supplier; however their demise required that Kevin and Debbie were required to consider an alternative option. we are delighted that we were able to provide Kevin and Debbie with the appropriate alternative. Adam Chadwick carried out the civils works, E&H Heating carried out the plumbing and heating installation, DC Electrics, the electical installation and Malcolm Smith carried out the decoration works. The client is just waiting for his Completion Certificate, from Building Standards. A number of issues created a variety of irritating delays to the progress of the works; however, our Clients are ready for the big move so that they can complete works on their adjacent property.

The first two consignments were completed, as far as was possible, before Christmas 2013. We commenced the third phase - King Erik House - just after New Year; however; although this project was temporarily suspended due to severe wind conditions, e successfully completed by the end of January 2014. We have received further batches of glazing replacements and the project continues.

Raymond Strachan and Jude Kelman, Mid Yell

The house is a bespoke design, by Shetland Construction & Developments Limited, incorporating design feature requested by Raymond and Jude. It is a 1.1/2 storey design with a glazed, vaulted section above the Lounge. The client is quite keen to incorporate a number of energy savinng criteria, including enhanced insulation and triple glazing. The heat source is an electric boiler supplemented by a multi fuel stove, heating radiators throughout both floors. the domestic hot water is to be heated by solar panels.

Raymond and Jude must be our most patient clients.

We received the original enquiry in July 2013. Having quoted, successfully, for the house build, we made general Planning enquiries, with the Roads Department, in October last year. The project appeared to be "doomed", as the gradient of the access road appeared not to fall with Roads Department guidelines. Following the intercession by Raymond's local councillor, it appeared that a compromise could be achieved. As a result of this, we were instructed to submit a pre-planning enquiry. This was done and after a longish wait, we were lead to believe that a formal Planning Application could be submitted and could expect to receive an early and positive response. we are still waiting....

Ben Ward, Burra

Ben Ward has confirmed that our quotation, to build his new house, has ben accepted. Ben has a siteworks contractor, working directly for him, so our works are programmed to commence in early in 2015.
