• the construction of £181m of BTR developments in Glasgow and Edinburgh for developer PLATFORM_ and a £62m BTR development at Candleriggs Square on behalf of Drum Property Group;
• input into high-profile NHS Frameworks, which will deliver modern, innovative change across Scotland’s healthcare estates;
• the completion of the £33m Fife Orthopaedics facility on behalf of NHS Fife which became the first National Treatment Centre in Scotland; and
• the completion of the £12.5m RIAS award-winning Laidlaw Music Centre at the University of St Andrews, and the £47m Meadowbank Sports Centre in Edinburgh.
