Another week, another challenge for GRS Homes

Just as we’re nearing completion of our town centre development, we’ve now been asked to do something else we’re known for and that’s to build an extension, this time to a beautiful Victorian villa.

This has so far involved the demolition of a garage, which will be replaced by a superb kitchen diner.
The job will take us around six weeks and require a dozen tradesmen – with me supervising, of course.
And it’s not merely a question of building a simple add-on, it’s much more complex than that. For example, the work will include a new ‘’floating’’ balcony – one without visible support – which means the steel used first has to be galvanised. Once the steel is in we will counterbalance the balcony by inserting the steel four metres back.

Our steel is sourced from a fabricator in California, which you might think is a long way to go...but it’s the California near Falkirk I mean.  The new addition is nothing if not adventurous – it will include a cathedral roof!

We’re nothing if not versatile at GRS Homes and all this means we’re now working across two sites at the same time – not bad for a small company.

But that doesn’t mean we’re not looking for the next venture – we’re already scoping out further opportunities. In fact, if you see us in the Woodside Inn or the Wheatsheaf, we’re probably deep in creative mode!

Cheers,
Graham

Well, it's been a long haul but we're almost there. Town centre developments are a bit of a new venture for GRS Homes as until now we've mainly concentrated on building rural developments. But our latest site has proven so popular we've sold off all our townhouses and they are now occupied by families enjoying life in their new homes. And we're confident the last house will go fairly quickly too. And after that - who knows? We have several options open to us and are keen to work on extensions and conversions in particular, something we have great track record on already, with many satisfied customers. But old habits die hard and we might, just might, revert to building back in the countryside, as we've done so successfully in the past. Whatever we decide to do, it's exciting times for us at GRS Homes and we look forward to our next project.
