Cademuir Building Consultants Limited

Expert Guidance Rooted in 28 Years of Experience

We are Cademuir Building Consultants, a Peebles-based practice dedicated to providing bespoke property advice across Scotland and Northern England. Founded in 2017 but built on nearly three decades of industry expertise, we help homeowners, commercial tenants, and heritage bodies navigate the complexities of the built environment.

Whether you are purchasing a period home in the Borders or managing a commercial portfolio in Glasgow, our approach is systematic, hands-on, and tailored to your specific goals. We pride ourselves on understanding exactly what you need and delivering results in an efficient, professional manner.

Specialists in Historic and Traditional Buildings

Our Director, Craig Mattocks, is a RICS Certified Historic Building Professional. This rare accreditation reflects our deep commitment to the repair and conservation of Scotland’s architectural heritage. We don’t just look at buildings; we understand how traditional materials breathe and age.

Our track record includes work on some of the country’s most prestigious landmarks:

• Bute House & Queen’s Gallery, Edinburgh
• Torosay Castle, Isle of Mull
• Thornton Castle, Lawrencekirk
• Ongoing consultancy for the National Trust for Scotland

Why Clients Choose Cademuir

We believe that professional advice should be pragmatic and clear. We offer a quick turnaround without compromising on the "get what you pay for" quality that our clients expect from a RICS-regulated firm.

From Antarctic Research Stations to High Street Tenements

Our experience is as diverse as the properties we survey. Craig’s career has taken him from managing facilities at the British Antarctic Survey’s Halley Research Station to overseeing complex multi-property tenement restorations in Perth.

We bring this same level of rigour to every instruction, whether it’s a Level 3 Building Survey for a private buyer or representing a commercial client in complex dilapidations negotiations. As active members of the RICS Scotland Dilapidations Forum, we ensure our clients always benefit from the latest industry standards and legal precedents.

Comprehensive Project Oversight

We do more than just identify problems; we solve them. As Incorporated members of the Association for Project Safety (APS), we provide full Project Management and Contract Administration services. We can take your project from initial drawings and tender through to completion and final snagging, acting as your expert advocate every step of the way.

"Cademuir's approach to identifying and rectifying problems is systematic, hands-on, realistic and flexible."
