We are passionate about providing our clients with true craftsmanship and a top-quality finish, while also developing strong relationships that last long after the project has been completed.
Our services include
Eco-friendly practices
Because we are conscious of the construction industry's impact on the environment, we are eager to promote and contribute to more sustainable building practices.
On all Orkney projects, we strive to make greener choices - this includes recycling leftover materials, burying leftover plasterboard, and efficiently using materials on site.
We are also proud to support Trees that Count by donating trees for every large project completed.
With a particular interest in high-performing homes, the Orkney Group founder, Kevin Turley, established 'Green Abode' in 2015. This business is focused on building greener, more energy-efficient and high-performing homes. To find out more about the incredible benefits of high-performance homes, please click here.

This old shed was all that was sitting on the piece of land. This had to go so we could get started on the earthworks!
This kitchen is so chic - and is set up for entertaining. Our clients can face their guests while they prep a meal.

Testimonials
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
"Kevin Turley, Andrew Grimes and the team from Orkney Construction have carried out extensive work on two of our properties over the past seven years. The work carried out has involved interior and exterior repair and renovation, as well as landscaping work. They have exceeded our expectations both in terms of the standard of building work and their professionalism and dedication.
Works at our Brooklyn home were particularly challenging due to the steep access to the site and poor state of repair of the circa-1910 villa. We had originally engaged them to carry out minor renovations to the laundry, however, removal of the existing tiled flooring and Gib-board revealed extensive water ingress throughout the entire dwelling. The team stayed on for over 6 months until the entire house had been repaired to a high professional standard.
Orkney Construction made time at short notice to design and install around 25 metres of fencing and handrails at our Brooklyn home. They worked to a tight deadline and went the extra mile to ensure we could list our home for sale by the second week of September.
I would highly recommend the services of Orkney Construction. They have been at all times highly professional and reliable, with excellent communication skills around work in progress and open and fair pricing. All work has been completed to a standard which has exceeded our expectations".
- Meg and Jason Green
