With numerous active projects on-site, areas they work in include not only social and private housing, but leisure, retail, commercial, health, and education sectors, as well as providing facilities maintenance services, often in challenging environments such as within the nuclear power industry.

Project types the firm undertakes includes new-build schemes, such as their Design & Build project at Ardoch Court, Stevenston for Cunninghame Housing Association that delivered 28 new build houses with two special needs accommodation units.

Their work also covers urban sites with partial demolitions, like the former King's Arms Hotel in Irvine, where they are transforming a category `C` listed building within the Town Centre Conservation Area for North Ayrshire Council to provide six amenity flats
