Remote Island Construction

Key considerations

When beginning a remote island construction project, it’s crucial to take time to ensure any potential problems can be overcome quickly with an effective solution.

We worked closely with the client on preliminary feasibility exercises to distinguish suitable viable sites on Arran, pinpointing locations that would benefit the overall goals of this affordable home development project.

Effective solutions

To ensure a smooth project process, we supported the client in securing a considerable grant from the Scottish Government Rural & Islands Housing Fund, one of the largest to date.

By utilising the innovative “Construction Management’ procurement approach, we worked with the client to provide a solution that was bespoke to their remote island location.

Ongoing milestones

Beginning works on-site in 2023, we’re thrilled with the progress of the project so far. Collaborating with the client, design team and local residents, we’ve successfully sourced a supply chain of local sub-contractors to support the project.

Continuing to develop our expertise, we’re investigating and implementing new modern construction methods to ensure efficient solutions at each point of the project.

“The Arran Development Trust has worked with Quantum Solutions for the last four years and the team at Quantum has become an integral part of the ADT’s operations. At every step of the project, their quality of service and response times have been excellent. Indeed the team go the extra mile to seek solutions to challenges and think “out of the box” in order to solve any challenges faced by the ADT.”
