Norscot family homes
Whether you have a grand design in mind or are looking to redevelop a cherished family home like clients Mark and Ann, Norscot will support you every step of the way on your timber frame kit home journey.
In 2022, Mark and Ann embarked on a project to transform Ann’s ancestral home on the Isle of Scalpay, Harris. Initially considering a renovation, they decided on a new build after determining that the existing structure’s layout was unsuitable.
Mark and Ann selected Norscot based on the company's exceptional assistance and superior product quality. A key factor in their decision was a recommendation from a previous client who had successfully built on the nearby Isle of Lewis. They were particularly impressed with the high-quality finishing materials, which helped bring their vision to life. They also made use of the company's build cost calculator to effectively plan their budget.
Their favourite space is the living room, featuring a cosy woodburner and breathtaking views, making it the perfect spot for relaxation.
Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, they describe their experience with Norscot as “amazing”, noting that the team went “above and beyond” to assist even after completion.
