architectural design
Start with the right design
A successful project begins well before construction starts.
We work with trusted architectural designers to help shape your project from the outset, ensuring your plans are practical, buildable, and aligned with your goals and budget.
This means you don’t need to coordinate multiple parties yourself — we can bring the right team together and guide the process through design, consent, and into construction.
ways to build with Orkney
We offer three different ways to build, depending on your goals, budget, and how much customisation you’re after
For fully custom homes, we design and build to suit your site, your layout, and how you want to live.
You get the flexibility of a tailored home, with a clear, structured process to keep the build running smoothly.
