A derelict shorefront unit, rebuilt for the view.
A job from Neal's building background on the Cromarty Firth, shown here to give a sense of the standard and scope Firstpoint is built on — a full strip-out and rebuild, finished in standing-seam metal cladding with the loch brought right into the living space.
Metal-clad exterior, floor-to-ceiling glazing.
Anthracite and grey standing-seam cladding on an angled timber frame, with three full-width glazed bays set to catch the water on every side.
Delivered from strip-out to final fix — cladding, glazing, and every trade in between — the same hands-on standard Firstpoint is run to.
What goes in before the floor goes down.
Underfloor heating pipework, screed and the plant behind it — from a past renewables install, shown here to walk through what's involved before the floor goes down. Every loop pressure-tested before the pour.
Pipework first fix
Loops set out over insulation board and mesh, spaced to the room's heat loss calculation.
Room to room
Manifold runs continued through every room on the circuit before the screed team is called in.
Screed poured
Floor levelled over the pipework and left to cure before floor coverings go on.
Plant & hot water
Cylinder, expansion vessel and manifold housed in the plant cupboard, feeding the heat pump.
Firstpoint Construction & Renewables Ltd was built on one idea: one company, every trade, one person answering the phone.
We're based in Inverness and work across the Highlands, covering general building and renewable installations under the same roof — so a job doesn't get handed between three different companies before it's finished.
Every project runs through the same process, whichever trade it needs: a clear scope, a clear price, and a schedule you can actually see.
Scope & site visit
We'll come to you to inspect and discuss your project in person, before anything is priced.
Fixed quote
A clear, itemised quote — no vague allowances, no surprises once work starts.
One point of contact
Every trade on the job reports through Firstpoint. You deal with one person, start to finish.
