Points to plan for in Nairn
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.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Nairn often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
