JR Homes is seen as the natural step for the construction company which has grown from the strength to strength since its creation 25 years ago.

With a strong land bank spanning the length and breadth of central Scotland behind it, JR Homes will make its market debut via its first development - Almondvale Gardens in Blackburn, West Lothian.

The small collection of just seven, three- and four-bedroom detached family homes is set to be released to the public towards the end of the year and will give a glimpse of the quality and specification that will be on offer.

Andrew Dallas, projects director for the group, said: “We are a well-respected construction firm in Scotland and having completed numerous developments across the country for a variety of clients. With our unrivalled skillset and industry knowledge, launching our own private homebuilding firm seemed the logical next step in our evolution.

“We are known and trusted for our quality and craftsmanship and are passionate about presenting this in each of our JR Homes. We have created a collection of standard house types with strong kerb appeal and state-of-the-art design – both inside and out.

“We’re aiming to build high quality, considered homes offering generous spaces that are abundant with light. Our specification is exceptionally high and thanks to our size and approach, we can work with each one of our homebuyers to create a bespoke product for them – whether that’s added fixtures and fittings or converting the garage space prior to them moving in.”

JR Homes comes with a new website which shows the upcoming developments and the ethos behind the new business.

Andrew added: “This is an incredibly exciting milestone in our journey as a business, and we have ambitions to excel in this area and become recognised for our quality, flexibility and specification. We want each of our customers to enjoy a new and better way of living in our premium properties – delivering a first-class service from start to finish.”

The debut development - Almondvale Gardens in Blackburn – is set to be released for sale later in the year.
