Andy Stewart
Bancon Homes has added to its leadership team with the promotion of Andy Stewart to technical and planning director.
A qualified architect and certified Passivhaus designer, Andy brings extensive experience in residential design, planning, and sustainable development. Before joining Bancon Homes in 2021, he spent several years in private practice, specialising in large-scale masterplans and complex brownfield developments, working closely with both private housebuilders and affordable housing providers.
Andy’s relationship with Bancon Homes began long before his formal appointment, having collaborated with the company for nearly eight years as a client. Since joining as head of design and technical, he has played a key role in strengthening Bancon’s internal design team, enhancing project control and driving design quality. His role later evolved to head of design and planning, where he focused on planning strategy and the pre-construction process.
In his new role, Andy will lead Bancon’s design and planning function, ensuring a seamless and efficient journey from concept through to planning approval.
Alongside his pivotal contribution to the private homes division, Andy will also play a key role in shaping Bancon Group’s growing Land Led Affordable (LLA) housing portfolio. He will work closely with the dedicated LLA team to design and deliver high-quality, sustainable affordable housing developments across Scotland - helping to meet the country’s urgent housing needs while aligning with Bancon’s design standards and community-first approach. A strong advocate for sustainable and environmentally conscious design, Andy said he is committed to integrating innovative, high-performing, and efficient solutions across all of Bancon’s projects.
“I’m excited to continue working with the team to bring our projects to life,” he said. “Sustainable design has always been a key interest of mine, and I look forward to incorporating more environmentally responsible practices into our developments to create even better homes.”
Jamie Tosh, managing director of Bancon Homes and Construction, added: “Andy has been a vital part of our team since 2021, helping to evolve our design practices and achieve our strategic goals. As director, he will play a key role at Board level, shaping our future growth and development.”
