Requirements
Nairn Construction Ltd was commissioned for this Staplegordon house renovation by a private client seeking a detailed cost estimate to support their purchase negotiations on a substantial property in a remote area of Dumfries and Galloway. The client’s primary objective was to secure a detailed cost estimate to facilitate the purchase negotiations for the property. The project was strategically divided into two distinct phases:
Phase One: Ensure the property was wind and watertight, making it resilient against harsh winter conditions.
Phase Two: Undertake a comprehensive refurbishment of the property, encompassing both internal and external renovations.
The client’s ultimate goal was to transform the property into a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing residence that met their specific tastes and requirements.
Our Approach
In order to achieve the client’s objectives, our team engaged in regular communication via telephone and email. This consistent interaction allowed us to coordinate effectively with multiple trades and adhere to the firm deadline set for the client’s relocation. The project was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring that the final outcome aligned perfectly with the client’s preferences and expectations.
The key works carried out by our skilled team and trusted subcontractors included:
- Roof and Wall Repairs: We repaired the roof and walls to prevent water ingress and protect the property from adverse weather.
- Complete Rewiring and Plumbing System Overhaul: Our team overhauled the entire electrical wiring and plumbing systems to meet modern standards and ensure safety and efficiency.
- Bathroom Replacement and Remodelling: We replaced and remodelled two bathrooms to create modern, functional and stylish facilities.
- Creation of Walk-In Closet: We also created a spacious walk-in closet to meet the client’s storage needs and enhance the property’s functionality.
- Installation of Fitted Bedroom Furniture: Our team installed custom fitted bedroom furniture to optimise space and add a luxurious feel.
- Internal Wall Remodelling: We remodelled internal walls to create additional storage and improve the overall layout.
- Farmhouse Kitchen Remodelling: We replaced and remodelled the large farmhouse kitchen, transforming it into a stylish centrepiece with modern amenities.
- WC and Utility Area Replacement: Our team replaced the WC and utility area to improve both functionality and appearance.
- Interior and Exterior Redecoration: We redecorated the property throughout, inside and out, to refresh its appearance and appeal.
- External Drainage Improvements: We improved the external drainage system to prevent water accumulation and protect the property’s foundations.
- Berm Modification: Our team modified the existing berm to stabilise the surrounding land and prevent erosion.
- Patio Creation and Landscaping: We created a new patio and landscaped the surrounding area, providing an inviting outdoor space and keeping pets safe.

Testimonial
“We have no hesitation in recommending Nairn Construction for their outstanding professionalism and high-quality work. These were both key elements in the success of our significant renovation project.
We acquired a large property that required extensive refurbishment inside and out. It was clear that the refurbishment would require multiple different skill sets and trades and we had a fixed deadline by which we needed the work complete so we could move into the property. A major added complication was that we were at that time living more than 300 miles away. For these reasons, we needed to find a company that we could trust to oversee the entire project in our absence and coordinate all of the third-party trades and different skills as and when required, and ensure the quality of the completed work.
When we started searching for such a company, what impressed us with Nairn Construction was their ISO certification which gave us confidence that they would have the processes in place to ensure the best chance of a successful outcome, on time, and on budget.
However, at the end of the day, even with excellent processes, there were two other factors vitally important to success.
The first factor was people, and here again we cannot say enough positive things about all of the Nairn Construction staff from the top of the company to those working on-site. Everyone was friendly, professional, and no request or question was ever too much trouble.
The second important factor, particularly in our situation with being remote, was communication. We were impressed with the ease of communication with Nairn Construction via telephone, email, and other online tools, which ensured that we were regularly updated on progress and any questions/issues were quickly raised and addressed to avoid hold-ups. Because the communication was so good, it meant that we only had to visit the property in person once a month or so, and even then, more so for our own interest than out of necessity.
Again, we cannot recommend Nairn Construction highly enough.”
