akp were engaged as Principal Contractor to construction the new three storey extension to the existing leisure complex and holiday park.
Located within Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Drimsynie Estate Holiday Village is nestled below the mountains, offering spectacular panoramic views across Loch Goil and the Arrochar Alps.
The expansion of the hotel included 19 hotel rooms, a gym, conference rooms, a café bar and offices with reception area. The total new floor area created was circa 2,634 metres square.
The structure was predominantly steel / glulam frames clad in SFS framing with various external finishes. The roof was clad with an aluminium standing seam curved zip jointed roof cladding system.
The project was delivered within a live holiday park environment, careful programming was essential to ensure holiday makers at the nearby cabins experienced minimum disruption.

I want to take the opportunity to thank the akp team. The transformation is fantastic and I’m sure the children, staff and local community will enjoy their new facility for many years.
The Operations and Commercial teams have been excellent throughout and have been very supportive and proactive in their approach. I would like to especially thank Project Manager John for his efforts over the last couple of weeks, which were difficult at times for reasons out with his control, but he pulled a lot of rabbits out of the hat and got us over the line. Yet again, thank you for all your efforts and hopefully I get the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future.
I would like to thank Martin McColl, Mark Smith and the team at akp for delivering the refurbishment at New Aspect House. Blantyre.
Started and completed during a global pandemic, its a project none of us will forget and it was not without it challenges.

Probably my favourite project to have worked on! A great professional team, highly knowledgeable and skilled and with a great sense of pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them.
Another successful project completed and thanks for everyone’s hard work. The setting are delighted with the end product.
School / WLC were extremely appreciative of how John and team carried out works, excellent lines of communication with school throughout. Also, the site housekeeping, co-ordination, health and safety were all excellent.
This is the second time we have used akp for a fit out project in Glasgow, and I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
akp worked well on site and delivered the project as expected. I would have no concerns using your services on subsequent projects.
akp carried out the office fit out diligently and completed on time in what was a very tight timescale.
I cannot have asked for a more helpful and professional approach to the fit out. Programme completion date was forced by lease events and was not only met but at below budget.
