We create beautifully designed, expertly built homes across Edinburgh and the Lothians through an integrated process delivering quality, efficiency, and complete peace of mind.
OUR STORY
Gareth and Jamie began working together in 2020 — Jamie as an architect, Gareth as a contractor — united by a shared commitment to doing things properly, with honesty and transparency, values they found were often missing in the construction industry. From the outset, they recognised that clear communication, attention to detail, and integrity were key to delivering projects that truly worked for clients.
Over the years, they collaborated on multiple residential projects, including Jamie’s own home, and discovered the benefits of a more integrated approach. By combining design and construction under one roof, they realised they could create a smoother, more efficient process, reduce surprises, and deliver a better overall experience for their clients.
This vision led to the founding of Steiger & Ross, where Gareth contributes his construction and pricing expertise from the earliest stages of a project, and Jamie provides project management and quality control throughout the build. Together, they ensure every home is thoughtfully designed, expertly built, and delivered with transparency and quality.

One Team, Start to Finish
From first sketch to final handover, we take full responsibility for your project. A single point of contact, clear communication and careful oversight ensure a smooth, well-managed experience throughout.
Our Process
Introduction
We start by meeting with you to discuss your project, explain our process, and ensure we’re the right team for your vision. From there, we provide a detailed services proposal for the design stage, giving you clarity on costs, scope, approach, and what to expect as your project progresses.
Survey and Briefing
Every project starts with a clear understanding of your home and priorities. We carry out a detailed digital survey and site visit, then work with you in a collaborative briefing to explore what’s essential, desirable, and how you want your home to feel — providing a solid foundation for the design process.
Design
Building on the survey and briefing, we begin by sketching and testing a range of ideas, narrowing them to three distinct proposals, each with initial costings and assumptions to help you make informed decisions. Using your feedback, we refine the preferred design, exploring sub-options, updating the layout, materials, and costs, and holding regular reviews to ensure it aligns with your vision. Once the design is finalised, we prepare detailed construction drawings, coordinate with the structural engineer, guide you through technical decisions, and submit the Planning and Building Warrant applications to ensure all consents are in place for a smooth start on site.
Construction
With the technical design finalised and build costs agreed, a standard construction contract is put in place, and our experienced team takes the lead under the oversight of your dedicated project manager. Rigorous quality assurance, regular updates, and fortnightly site meetings ensure your home is built to the highest standards while you enjoy watching it take shape.
Handover
Once your project is complete and all systems tested, we provide a full handover pack with drawings, approvals, guarantees, and instructions. You receive the keys and can start enjoying your home, while we remain on hand to address any snagging or minor issues for complete peace of mind.
