Welcome to our first newsletter of 2026! It’s been a landmark start to the year at Lochlie Construction. From hitting major financial milestones and restructuring for the future to handing over community-focused projects, the momentum is higher than ever.
Here’s a look at what’s been happening across our sites and HQ this month.
Strategy: Streamlining for the Future
We are incredibly proud to announce that Lochlie Construction has officially reached the £10m revenue milestone. Since our founding in 2014, we’ve grown into a team of 72 dedicated professionals.
But we aren’t stopping there. With a target to double our turnover to £20m by 2030, we have streamlined our business into four specialist divisions to provide even more focused expertise:
- Ardura by Lochlie: High-end, luxury residential projects.
- Lochlie Core: Our signature commercial fit-outs and refurbishments.
- Lochlie Steel Buildings: Specialist structural and steel-framed solutions.
- Lochlie Commercial Solar: Powering Scotland’s transition to green energy.
To stay ahead of the curve, we are also integrating AI and automation through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with the University of the West of Scotland . As Managing Director Douglas Aitken notes, 2026 is the year we solidify our reputation as Scotland’s contractor of choice.
Project Updates: Delivering Quality
Balshagray House: The Home Stretch
Our project for ENABLE Glasgow is entering its final stages! Our joiners are busy with finishing touches, painting is nearing completion, and LVT flooring is being laid. We’re also wrapping up the external landscaping and timber decking. We can’t wait to hand over this life-changing space this month.
Hillington Park: Circular Economy in Action
We recently completed a fresh, modern refurb for our neighbours, Resource Data Management (RDM). Using dust-free sanding and a sleek palette, we transformed their workspace with minimal disruption. Keeping investment local is a core value for us, and this project was the perfect way to wrap up 2025.
New Site Start: Slam Transport
We’ve just kicked off a “top-to-bottom” refurbishment for Slam Transport. This major project includes a full office strip-out, kitchen and toilet refurbs, and industrial upgrades like workshop floor repairs and new steel folding doors. Stay tuned for the “Before & After” shots!
Renewables: Certified Quality
We have successfully passed our annual MCS Scheme surveillance assessment! This confirms our commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable energy solutions for our clients. Our certification covers:
- Solar PV Systems
- Air Source Heat Pumps
- Battery Storage Systems
Our recent Solar PV installation at a local community hub was inspected and verified, ensuring our clients can transition to green energy with full peace of mind.
People: Levelling Up at Lochlie
Our people are our greatest asset. A huge congratulations to Gordon Fraser , who has successfully completed his SVQ Construction Senior Management (SCQF Level 11). Gordon is already applying his new skills on-site and is beginning his journey toward CIOB membership.
Special thanks to Joe Bryceland at CAT Solutions Limited for the mentorship and support.
Looking Ahead
It’s been a busy start to 2026! With our new specialist divisions and a clear goal to reach £20m by 2030, we are better equipped than ever to deliver high-quality work across Scotland.
