Navigating Statutory Consents & Legal Compliance
Listed Building Consent (LBC)
We handle all the council paperwork for you. Our team prepares the detailed technical layout drawings and historical impact statements required to secure smooth Listed Building Consent from the City of Edinburgh Council or other councils.
Historic Environment Scotland Compliance
We protect your property investment. Our building methods strictly follow national heritage guidelines, ensuring all internal alterations respect and preserve the original architectural character of your home.
Sructural Building Warrants
Specialist Heritage Craftsmanship & Master Timber Production
Sash & Case Window Replication
Category A and B listed homes must have traditional timber windows rather than standard plastic or PVC replacements. Our expert Edinburgh joiners handle the entire process by crafting exact, like-for-like timber restorations that protect your property’s character and secure smooth council planning approval.
Traditional Lime Mortar & Masonry
The breathability of historic stone masonry must be protected. We avoid modern cement mortars, which cause irreversible moisture retention and stone decay, working exclusively with traditional lime mortars and heritage-approved pointing techniques.
Bespoke Joinery & Architectural Features
We preserve the intricate details that define period luxury. Our integrated manufacturing studio allows our joiners to custom-engineer architectural elements—from custom libraries to complex timber moldings—to the exact millimeter specifications required to restore or replicate original features.
Eliminating the Disconnect Between Design & Site Execution
What makes Cedar Developments different from standard building firms is the close link between our design team and our site teams. This structure directly serves clients who want a stress-free service where one company manages everything.
Our interior design team does more than just select finishes. They create the high-precision technical plans and spatial layouts used directly by our building crews on-site.
