Construction Trends in Aberdeen
Aberdeen City Council is investing 150 million pounds in its City Centre and Beach Masterplan, covering four major projects: the Union Street Central revamp, a new Flint Market, the redevelopment of Castlegate, and a comprehensive beachfront upgrade. Alongside this, Persimmon is re-entering the city's residential market with plans for 1,000 units starting construction in 2026, joined by commitments from Cala and Barratt, while Greyfriars House on Gallowgate has approval in principle to become 140 new homes on a former 1950s office block. Away from these schemes, the West End and Rubislaw keep a strong stock of granite Victorian terraces and villas, generating a steady flow of extensions and refurbishments.

Demand for Building Work in Aberdeen
The City Centre and Beach Masterplan, together with the return of major housebuilders like Persimmon, Cala, and Barratt, is set to bring sustained new-build activity to Aberdeen after a quieter period for residential development. Away from these schemes, the West End and Rubislaw's granite Victorian housing stock supports a steady, more standard flow of extension and refurbishment work, giving builders exposure to both large-scale regeneration and everyday householder projects.
