About

About Lochlie Construction Group

We are a fully streamlined construction services and project management company. We can offer you the full package – from building your house from the ground to wiring and electrics, to advising on the best renewable technologies for your project, whether that’s solar PV, air source heat pumps or electric vehicle charging points.

Lochlie Construction was founded in 2014 by father and son Douglas Aitken and David Aitken. Growing up Douglas Aitken dreamed of the Grand Designs process and hoped that, one day, he’d be lucky enough to get involved in that world – making incredible buildings look their best. Fast forward to 2014 and Douglas and David’s company – Lochlie Construction – started doing just that.

Lochlie Construction was named after the farm ‘Lochlie’ where Robert Burns grew up on in Ayr. Which also happens to be where the Aitken family were born and raised.

The team make Lochlie Construction what it is – your contractor of choice. From your very first meeting to that moment you have the keys in the palm of your hand, we are a friendly, knowledgeable, trusted team of experts who get the job done.
