New data from the RIBA, construction sector analyst Glenigan and the British Property Federation show that a decline in residential construction, especially build-to-rent, torpedoed forecasts that 2025 would be a year of recovery for the industry.

However, bucking this trend were offices, hotels and leisure buildings and industrial construction, all of which saw a significant rise in project starts in 2025

A series of end-of-year reports reveal a downturn in construction and pessimism among architects. However, hopes remain for a return to growth in the new year

A new Year and a new project in progress in Milngavie. House extension which will be clad in timber with a single ply membrane warm roof with roof windows. Wide eaves creates a cover corner with feature window. Looking very promising.

many a happy year spent in my flat in Lorne Terrace by Thomson 1865

Lorne Terrace is a Category A Listed three-storey ashlar tenement in the south side of Glasgow. Construction of the building began around 1873 by the practice of Thomson and Turnbull, (two years prior to the death of Alexander Thomson), and was completed circa 1877.

seems extraordinary that an actual Macintosh building is up for sale - couldn't this be bought by a public body for community use and for safe keeping - in light of what happened to the Art School - we can't risk the loss of another

The Mackintosh Halls were purpose built for church use in 1899 in the city's Ruchill area.
