Colorado Construction is an engineering, construction and finishes business based in Scotland, with a specialisation in listed buildings, bespoke luxury homes, and the design and build of distilleries and visitor centres.

Rising 159 places in the SME300 listing, our recent highest climber award reflects our dedicated approach in focusing on what our clients want and in delivering a consistently high standard on every job. Whether it be a contract for ongoing maintenance and support or a complex multi-million pound project to build a new distillery – such as those at Torabhaig, Inchdairnie or Glen Turner, a new visitor centre, city centre conservation project, or bonded warehouses.

Director Ian Bownes said: “Our success is down to the great team we have at Colorado Construction and Engineering – we aim to deliver above and beyond our customers’ expectations, resulting in over 83% of our business coming from returning customers.”

Crabbie’s, now famous for their ginger beer, are to move back into the whisky market, opening a new distillery in Leith.

Colorado will complete the distillery shortly, with a visitors centre opening shortly afterwards. Apparently, this could be the first time spirits have been distilled in Leith for 100 years…

We believe in working in an ‘open book’ manner and aim to provide demonstrable value throughout the construction and engineering process.  Our success with this approach, where our people take an ‘ownership’ approach to our projects, is demonstrated by the fact that 85% of our work comes from repeat business. Our remaining workload is secured under selective competitive tender.
