Aberdeen builders
you can trust.
Home extensions, loft and garage conversions, kitchens and bathrooms across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Family-run for over 20 years, with the finish your home deserves and none of the surprises you have heard about.
The builder Aberdeen homeowners
call first, and call back.
Choosing a builder is one of the biggest decisions you will make for your home, and the wrong choice costs far more than money. For over 20 years, families across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire have trusted Granite Builders with their home extensions, loft and garage conversions, kitchens, bathrooms and new builds.
We are a family-run firm, not a faceless contractor. As Federation of Master Builders members and a TrustMark registered business, we have been independently vetted and inspected, so the standard you are promised is the standard you get. From the first survey in the West End of Aberdeen to the final handover in Stonehaven, Inverurie or Banchory, one team looks after your project from start to finish.
One firm for the whole project,
from first drawing to final handover.
Home Extensions
Single-storey, double-storey and wraparound extensions that add the space your family has outgrown.
Loft Conversions
Dormer, hip-to-gable and Velux conversions that turn dead roof space into a bedroom, office or en-suite.
Garage Conversions
Turn a cold, underused garage into a warm room you actually live in, from a gym to a home office.
Kitchens
New layouts, units and structural changes that make the heart of your home work the way you live.
Bathrooms
A full strip-out and refit, supplied and fitted, to a finish you will enjoy every single day.
New Builds
Plots across Aberdeenshire built by people who understand the ground, the granite and the planning system here.
Garden Rooms
A warm, year-round room at the foot of the garden, insulated properly for North East weather.
General Building
Pointing, underpinning, structural repairs and the jobs that do not fit a tidy category.
The difference is who stays accountable.
Independent & Accountable
A family business, not a franchise. When you call, you speak to the people doing the work, and we put our name to every job.
Accredited, Not Just Insured
Federation of Master Builders membership and TrustMark registration mean we have been independently vetted against a Government-endorsed standard. These are not labels we gave ourselves.
One Point of Contact
From your first survey to the final snag, one project manager looks after everything and keeps you informed. No chasing, no being passed around.
No Surprises
We quote in writing, in detail, and we do not start work we have not priced. If something unexpected appears, you hear it before we act, not after.
Two decades of finished projects
across the North East.
How much does building
work cost in Aberdeen?
Most builders in Aberdeen will not show you a number until they are sitting in your living room. We will. The figures below are honest starting points for our most common projects across the Aberdeen area.
What is included. Our quotes cover structural work, insulation, windows, internal finishing, building control liaison and site clearance. We tell you upfront what sits outside the contract, so the final invoice holds no surprises. Guide prices are indicative and based on typical projects across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Your final cost depends on size, specification and site conditions, and excludes VAT and professional fees where they apply. We provide a detailed written quotation free of charge after a site survey.
The question every homeowner asks first.
It is also the one most builders avoid answering. Here are honest, typical timescales once work begins on site. We confirm a programme for your specific project at quote stage, and we hold to it.
Timescales assume your building warrant is already approved. In Scotland, most structural and habitable work needs a warrant from Aberdeen City or Aberdeenshire Council, so allow additional time for processing. We manage the planning and warrant applications on your behalf and keep you updated at every step.
Your money and your home,
protected at every stage.
Protected for years
Through our TrustMark registration, your project can be covered by an Insurance Backed Guarantee, so your investment is protected even in the unlikely event we could not return to put something right. Ask us for full details.
We stand behind it
Our work is covered by a written workmanship guarantee. If a covered defect appears after completion, we come back and fix it. No arguments, no fuss.
Contracts on every job
We carry public liability insurance and work to a written contract on every project, large or small, so everyone knows exactly what was agreed.
Pay as work is done
You pay to a written schedule tied to agreed milestones, only for work that is completed and inspected. For larger projects, we can introduce a regulated finance provider so you can spread the cost.
From your first call to the final handover.
Free Survey & Quote
We visit your home, listen to what you want, and produce a detailed written quote. No ballpark figures scribbled on a form, and no obligation to go ahead.
Design & Planning
We prepare or coordinate drawings, submit your planning application and building warrant where needed, and keep you updated at every step.
The Build
One team, managed by your project manager, works to an agreed programme. The site is kept tidy and you always know what is happening next.
Handover & Aftercare
We walk you through the finished work, deal with any snags, and back the job with a written guarantee. We do not disappear when the invoice is paid.
Trusted by homeowners across Aberdeenshire.
"They helped us renovate an en suite bathroom, including relocating sanitaryware, tiling floors and walls and installing electric underfloor heating. A great service, on time and to the agreed cost. I would highly recommend Shem and his team."
"From our initial meeting to completion, they were very professional, taking time to understand what we wanted and advising on how to achieve the finish we wanted."
"They done an alteration by making a new wall opening and putting in a steel beam, then refurbished the whole house including our kitchen and bathroom. Well recommended."

That local knowledge is what keeps projects on schedule and budgets where they should be.

Frequently asked questions.
As a guide, home extensions in the Aberdeen area start from around £2,500 per square metre, so a typical single-storey rear extension begins in the region of £45,000. The final figure depends on the size, the specification you choose and the condition of the site. We give you a detailed written quote free of charge after a survey, so you know the real number before you commit.
Many single-storey extensions fall within permitted development, so no planning application is needed. However, most structural and habitable projects in Scotland still need a building warrant from Aberdeen City or Aberdeenshire Council, which is separate from planning permission. We tell you exactly what applies to your project at quote stage, and we prepare and manage the applications for you.
Once we are on site, a typical single-storey extension takes 12 to 16 weeks, a loft conversion 8 to 12 weeks, a garage conversion 3 to 4 weeks and a bathroom 1 to 2 weeks. These assume your building warrant is already approved, so allow extra time for processing. We confirm a clear programme for your project before work begins and hold to it.
In most cases, yes. For extensions, loft and garage conversions, the new space is usually built before we open it up to your home, so day to day disruption is limited. We agree access, working hours and dust protection with you before we start, and we keep the site tidy every single day.
Our quotes cover structural work, insulation, windows, internal finishing, building control liaison and site clearance. We tell you upfront what sits outside the contract, such as appliances, specialist finishes or planning fees where they apply. The aim is simple. No hidden extras, and no surprise when the final invoice arrives.
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and work to a written contract on every job. Our workmanship is covered by a written guarantee, and through our TrustMark registration your project can be protected by an Insurance Backed Guarantee, so you are covered even if circumstances ever prevented us returning.
