Dundee is roughly two decades into a 1.6 billion pound Waterfront regeneration, a 30 year plan launched in 2001 to transform the area once occupied by docks, Tayside House, and the old Olympia swimming pool. The Central Waterfront has already delivered V&A Dundee, a new railway station, and Slessor Gardens, while the 130 million pound Eden Project Scotland has planning permission and is targeting a full opening around 2030. Residential conversions are also adding to the mix, including a former DWP building being transformed into 38 homes. Away from the waterfront, the West End and Broughty Ferry keep a strong stock of Victorian villas and tenements, generating a steady flow of extensions and refurbishments.
Here's a breakdown of the most common types of construction projects in Dundee over the past 30 days.
In Dundee, Extensions are the most common project type, appearing in 11 of the 25 leads tracked in the last 30 days, with Heritages also showing consistent demand alongside Garden Rooms. Projects can fall into more than one category, so these figures don't need to add up to the total.

The Waterfront regeneration and the upcoming Eden Project Scotland are set to bring sustained new-build and groundworks activity to Dundee for years to come, as the 30 year masterplan continues toward completion. Away from these schemes, the West End and Broughty Ferry's period villa and tenement 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.
Planning applications highlight upcoming work, giving you a chance to get in touch before builders are shortlisted.
Approved applications can be particularly valuable because the project has cleared a major planning hurdle and may be moving closer to construction.
