About Architects

An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.

Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.

In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).

Shawfair is a major new settlement on the eastern edge of Midlothian, one of the largest housing developments in Scotland with over 4,000 homes planned across a mix of family houses, apartments and affordable housing.

The development is centred on Shawfair Park railway station, opened in 2015 on the Borders Railway line, giving residents a direct rail link to Edinburgh Waverley in around 15 minutes.

As a predominantly new-build community, the housing stock is modern and energy-efficient, but the scale of development means a steady demand for finishing trades, landscaping and the kind of snagging work that comes with new construction.

Shawfair sits between Danderhall to the west and Dalkeith to the south, with easy access to the A720 city bypass and the A1.

About Midlothian

Midlothian is a compact council area immediately south of Edinburgh, stretching from the city bypass to the edge of the Scottish Borders.

It takes in the valleys of the North and South Esk rivers, the northern slopes of the Pentland Hills and a string of former mining communities that have reinvented themselves as commuter towns and growing residential centres.

Dalkeith is the administrative centre, but Bonnyrigg is the most populous settlement - and Penicuik, set against the Pentlands, has the feel of a self-contained town in its own right.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Newtongrange, Gorebridge and Eskbank to Edinburgh Waverley and has driven significant housing growth across the region.

Midlothian is one of the fastest-growing local authority areas in Scotland, attracting families and professionals who want proximity to Edinburgh without the city price tag.
