What kind of homes are in the Highlands?
Housing in Scotland includes tenements in the cities, sandstone villas, inter-war and post-war semis and a large number of bungalows, which often suit dormer and upward extensions.
Projects in the Highlands are taken on by arrangement, and any travel and accommodation costs for the team are shown openly in the quote.
How are projects approved in the Highlands?
Projects in Scotland need a building warrant from the council before any building work starts, and a completion certificate once it is finished. Planning permission is a separate decision.
