Leith Meanwhile Project

The Leith Meanwhile project, whilst small in budget is big in impact. The project comprised the refurbishment of C-listed building, turning it into modern office space, as well as the transformation of the rear of the building with the creation of workspaces in shipping containers. An excellent example of our Strategic Partnering Services in action and providing paid training opportunities through construction social enterprise, Rebuild.
