Wayne Souter
Director
After university, Wayne returned to Aberdeen to be the main contractor and designer on Aberdeen City's first certified Passivhaus. This house was designed and constructed without the use of an architect and achieved one of the lowest air test results ever achieved in the UK. This property was also awarded a commendation from the Aberdeen Civic Society for its design.
Following the Passivhaus build, Wayne went on to build on larger scale developments within Aberdeen and was involved in a mix of detached, semi-detached and apartment buildings.
Latterly he has returned to building high end bespoke homes. Working with clients across the North East to achieve the house of their dreams. He loves to see how clients put their stamp on each house and integrate all the things they desire to make it truly unique.
