Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden ("The Botanics") is a major tourist attraction as well as a favourite place to relax for many of the Capital's citizens. The Garden is constantly evolving with areas being redeveloped on a regular basis.

In 2002 the Edinburgh Construction Group was approached to build a bridge over a recently extended water feature, with a budget £22K. The bridge, resting on concrete foundations, was completed in 8 weeks from natural stone with two of the ECG's most experienced stone masons carrying out the work.

Other ongoing work for the Botanics includes the construction of a gabion wall (to support an earth bank) within their nursery area and the manufacture of office furniture, made to measure in our joinery workshop.

We have carried out several domestic extensions in the past year since we last updated our website. Pictured here is a large
extension to a house on the West side of Edinburgh. The company carried out all trades operations on this contract, including
the manufacture of all the bespoke joinery products.

The lead in time for this project was
two weeks from enquiry to site
commencement with a three week
period on site.

We manufactured and installed all the
joinery products and the marble counter
tops, as well as upgrading the existing
shop front.

The company became involved in this project at the 11th hour. Work commenced
on 26th November 2005 and was completed by 4th January 2006. The contract
value was £233K and the work consisted of completely fitting out an empty
industrial unit including sound studios, air conditioning, the formation of offices,
toilets, etc.

The company was commended by both the client and the architect.

The brief for this property in Cameron Toll, Edinburgh, was to demolish a neglected Victorian Greenhouse and replace it with a new conservatory and kitchen, built on the same base.

The Edinburgh Construction Group was responsible for all the major works including the very high specification leaded roof with its exposed internal trusses in this £90K project.

The made-to-measure kitchen, with its Kirkstone (granite) worktops, was manufactured in our joinery workshop, as were the windows. The kitchen features an attractive cherry veneer.
