Making your local vision a reality

With more than 60 years’ combined experience of serving our local communities, and with a leadership team who contribute to local groups in their personal time, we understand the characteristics of our unique towns and villages, and are well placed to help community organisations to preserve and enhance their areas for the future.

Collaborative and flexible approach

We recognise that community projects must negotiate many stakeholder requirements and funding complexities, so we take time to listen and identify the best way for us to deliver your unique requirements whether that is:

  • support from the very beginning to establish the feasibility of your vision, offer advice on the
    practicalities and develop the architectural brief
  • a partial or staged service so you can take the project forward under your own control, with the
    benefit of our guidance
  • partnership working with other specialist consultants and academic institutions as part of a wider
    team to encourage shared learning
  • full support at every stage – collaborating with other stakeholders and contractors, and providing
    on-site project management of the build, with careful financial consideration throughout

If a project is further on before we are brought in, we listen carefully and respect all the time and effort that has gone into the work that has already been done.

We have extensive experience with developments where asset transfer of an existing building is required and can assist with obtaining public and private funding such as from the Architectural Heritage Fund, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Heritage Enterprise Fund and Historic Environment Scotland Repair Grants.

Can we support your community vision?

If you're a community group planning a project in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife, the Scottish Borders or Northumberland, we'd be delighted to discuss your ideas.
