New Build: Perthshire

Designed by Studio East Architects in Perth, this five-bedroom new-build home was created to complement the surrounding traditional agricultural buildings while making the most of its elevated southerly aspect. Expansive glazing maximises the sweeping views, while an overhanging roof and veranda help to reduce solar gain and prevent overheating.

The use of natural stone and timber cladding, along with timber doors and traditional sash and case windows, gives the property a traditional appearance. Heating is provided via an air source heat pump and underfloor heating, with both solar PV and solar thermal panels harnessing the southerly exposure to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs.

H&H Construction came highly recommended as a chimney sweep and wood burner maintenance service. I can say that the recommendation made was spot on as everything was top class: were able to offer flexible appointments, friendly professional turned up on time and completed a tidy and thorough clean, as well as refurbishing a tired wood-burner. Definitely now our go to.

H&H Construction have undertaken several building projects for me and I always find the team to be trustworthy, friendly and meticulous in their work. Highly recommended contractors, who manage a project efficiently and thoroughly from start to finish.

H&H construction completed a comprehensive refurbishment of the Ballintaggart Farmhouse and an additional new build element to the farm. They were great to work with the end result is fantastic. The craftsmanship and attention to detail across the building is commented on by many of our guests.

Excellent company with great values and work ethic. Their quality of work is 5 stars and they are all very easy to work with. They did renovation work on our luxury self catering holiday let and completed all on time and to an excellent standard. Hope to work with them again in the future. Well done Haldane and the team.

C Skene

We had a very good experience with H&H who were on time, no hidden extras and achieved a workmanship of the highest quality. All the team were incredibly friendly, helpful and not intrusive.

H & H have been fantastic throughout our whole building process and I have to admit that I was actually sorry to see our builders leave…a great team and a great job. I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you!

N Gemmel

H and H have completed a fairly substantial piece of work needing scaffolding all round our house. This could have been highly disruptive and inconvenient, but it turned out to be relatively trouble-free. The team were friendly, competent and very professional in their approach from start to finish. I would recommend H and H without reservation.

We just wanted to put in writing how happy we were with your firm’s installation of solar panels on our roof. Your workmen were pleasant, courteous and considerate of our house and furnishings. They were a pleasure to have around. We were impressed with the care that was taken with the installation and with the skill of all involved. This was the complete opposite of some of the stories heard about “cowboy” solar panel installers. We are very happy and delighted we chose your company

A & S Mackintosh

We would like to thank H & H Construction for the garage which you recently completed. We were particularly impressed with the quality of workmanship & value for money

K Evans

H&H Construction completed the conversion to living accommodation on our Grade 2 historically listed, derelict barn on time, on budget (even found a few savings), and sensitive to all we wanted and hoped for. All the H&H staff who worked on our buildings were pleasant, interested, committed, trustworthy, polite, and a pleasure to have in our lives! The work from quoting to completion was to the highest standard, and at all times professional and attentive. We highly recommend H&H Construction to anyone.

V Gould

H & H Construction completed a project which had to be carried out & completed during school holidays so planning and timescale were critical. This was completed to a high standard, on time & with minimal disruption. We would certainly use H & H in the future.

The Bursar (Craigclowan School, Perth)

We worked alongside H&H Construction on a large residential refurbishment. As a main contractor they were very easy to work with: resourceful, organised, with excellent levels of workmanship and a high level of care for the client’s property. The site team were well-managed on a day-to- day basis and Haldane Lindsay himself was a regular and effective presence. Communications and site meetings were methodical and practical and the entire project was efficiently handled in terms of both schedule and budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

C Fisken

We used H and H to carry out complex renovations at the Atholl Arms Hotel in Dunkeld. The end result was a project completed within budget, excellent workmanship and all completed within a very tight time frame. I would have no hesitation in using H and H Construction for future projects that we will be carrying out.

H & H Construction have now carried out a number of property maintenance contracts for Bell Ingram. Quotations have been received promptly and the work has always been carried out to a high standard by experienced, friendly staff. We would not hesitate to recommend them to clients or other customers.

A Harington (Bell Ingram Perth Office)

After using three Scottish firms for 3 conversions in the last few years, we were pleased to have been introduced to you by our architect and I thank god we were. H&H have surpassed all quality and reliability standards by a country mile and not only will we only use you in the future, we won’t stop recommending you to others who want to finally be blessed with a builder who actually does what they promise – every time.

E Watson

The renovation works carried out to our steading property in 2009 were undertaken in a thoroughly professional and timely manner and with minimum disturbance to our occupation of the house. The scope of works included the demolition of internal walls, modification of electrical and central heating systems and the construction of new walls and ceilings, installation of kitchen units and timber floor finishes. We would not hesitate to recommend H&H Construction for other projects in Central Scotland.

D & J McDougall

H&H executed a complicated wood stove re-fit really well. The company is reliable, trustworthy, professional and value for money. Their staff and contractors did a great job and left the place immaculate upon completing the job. Would highly recommend.

A Dirkzwager

H&H Construction have carried out various works to date on properties managed by Savills. Not only have the prices they have quoted been extremely competitive but the work has been carried out promptly, to a high standard and with the minimum of fuss.

I am a developer who has worked with H&H Construction to deliver 12 houses at Shoreside, Fearnan, Loch Tay. They have delivered an excellent product which we are delighted with.

A Thomson

We are the owners of a new house in the Shoreside holiday home development at Fearnan, Perthshire. As a structural engineer in house design, I have been impressed with the quality of the construction of the houses all the way through from foundation stages to completion. This very much applies to the final results – the quality of the finishing and detailing is excellent to the point we had effectively zero snagging issues. As well as the quality of the construction, H&H have been a pleasure to work with dealing with queries and changes very quickly and effectively. The site staff have also been friendly and helpful which has been appreciated as the work moves to completion on the final houses.
