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.

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.




Meldrum Road in Kirkcaldy is a private development of 18 two-bedroom flats. Work commenced on manufacturing the timber kits at our workshop in May 2006 and the project was completed in April 2007. We have been responsible for the entire joinery package on the project, including the internal fit out.

A complete refurbishment at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Leith was carried out by the Edinburgh Construction Group in 2001. The
works included the new bar (made in our joinery workshop) with its stone floor - also cabinets, wall panelling, tile work and brass work.
The re-decoration included the application of gold leaf on the ceiling roses and wood-graining on 10 corridor doors. The ladies and gents
