Main Contracting

Main Contractors

M & J Ballantyne Ltd started out as general building contractors in 1937 thus bringing with us a wealth of knowledge, capability, experience and understanding of both construction and the intricacies of building contracts themselves.

We undertake the role of Main Contractor to manage, procure and deliver the finished product to our Clients on time and within budget.

The type of work we undertake is wide and varying in both value and complexity, examples include: Primary and secondary schools, health centres, hospital extensions, dental surgeries, housing developments for housing associations, workshops, advance factory units, retail units, offices, public toilets, country house extensions, one off private residences, hotel alterations and the like. Included in these projects are civil engineering work consisting of roads infrastructure, drains and sewers, bridges and earth moving.

Building Restoration Contractors

Restoration has always been part of our business from the Company’s inception in 1937, in more recent years the value of our experience has been recognised by Clients throughout the South of Scotland and we have been invited to work on some of the most highly regarded listed buildings in the area.

Our experience brings our own high quality tradesmen that use traditional building materials on a daily basis; this provides the attention to detail necessary when dealing with the fabric of historic buildings.

Part of the intrinsic value when using M & J Ballantyne Ltd as main contractor is our ability to simultaneously manage and coordinate the installation of modern mechanical and electrical services and insulation materials into an historic setting.
