Welcome to our February 2026 newsletter. Building on a positive start to the year, February has focused on further strengthening our safety culture, continued development of our people, and delivering projects that have a meaningful impact on our community.
Across every division, we’ve continued to prioritise high standards, invest in learning and innovation, and work collaboratively to ensure each project reflects the quality and care that define Lochlie.
Here’s a look at the milestones and stories that shaped Lochlie Construction this month.
Safety: A Culture, Not a Checklist
February marked Work Safely Month. We believe the most important thing to come off of any of our sites at the end of each day is our team. To reinforce our safety-first culture, we have renewed our pledge with The Lighthouse Charity: Ensuring our team has a safety net for emotional, physical, and financial well-being that extends far beyond the hard hat.
Innovation: Striving for Better
As part of our mission to embrace innovation and find smarter ways to build, we held our first AI knowledge-sharing session this month. Our team and guest speakers explored automation workflow and tool recommendations to drive real results. Through the generosity of those who attended, we raised £750, split between ACCORD HOSPICE and Lapwing Lodge Outdoor Activity Centre.
Project Updates: Trusted Delivery
From commercial fit-outs to community safety, our specialist divisions have been busy delivering with pride:
- Chromalloy, Glasgow: We delivered their office fit-out featuring a fire-rated timber kit structure and advanced acoustic sound deadening (SIF floor system) for a superior workspace.
- New Gorbals Housing Association: Our team successfully delivered a new fire escape for the TASK nursery extension, navigating tight space restrictions to provide essential safety features.
- Circular Economy in Action: When a client cleared out office furniture, our Site Manager arranged for it to be donated to a local primary school – giving quality materials a second life.
Team Milestones
- We are excited to welcome Mark Berry to the team as a Supervisor/Joiner, an experienced professional who shares our focus on craftsmanship.
- We wished Ian Anderson (Plumber) a very happy retirement after many years of being an integral and skilled part of our team.
Looking Ahead
We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the CeeD (Centre for Engineering, Education and Development)Marketing Award, recognising our commitment to relationship-led communication and integrity. As we look toward our 2030 goal of reaching £20m turnover, we remain focused on doing the right thing for our clients and our community.
