Working in Forfar
In a town like Forfar, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Dundee is about 20 km away.
We work across Forfar's postcode districts, including DD8. Nearby, we also cover Dundee (about 20 km), Arbroath (about 21 km) and Montrose (about 27 km). Buildings across Dundee and Angus range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Things to check in Forfar
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in Scotland must meet Section 3 of the Scottish building standards. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Working hours
Most Forfar businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
