Divisional Updates
As our Commercial Team continues to grow within Insite Contracts, it brings exciting new opportunities. Most recently, this is displayed with the appointment of Phil Banks to the role of Senior Estimator.
Stepping up to lead our tendering team as part of our newly established setup, Philip brings a wealth of knowledge and dynamic support to our colleagues and clients alike.
After 9 years of being integral to the growth of Insite Contracts, and Insite
Group as a whole, we are delighted to confirm that Fraser Stevenson has
been promoted to the position of Commercial Director.
In truth, this really is an overdue title change as Fraser has been providing Director level support to the Group and our Clients for years, and we are extremely proud to officially have him part of the senior Director leadership team.
The growth continues across the group, with Insite 360 recently adding Travis McLean to their expanding Estimating department! Joining us as a Graduate Quantity Surveyor, Travis brings a fantastic mix of enthusiasm and recent academic rigor to the role.
He has seamlessly integrated into the wider team, diving straight into the deep end by mixing his days between gaining vital on-site experience and pricing upcoming projects.

As Principal Contractor, our Insite Contracts team has just reached practical completion and is currently awaiting final sign-off on a major internal refurbishment for the SCRA at 6 Commercial Street in Dundee.
We have completely transformed the hearing centre and office environments from the ground up to the third floor. Designed to align closely with SCRA’s agile working policy, these newly upgraded facilities actively improve opportunities for staff wellbeing by providing modern, flexible working spaces tailored to their needs.
To further future-proof the property, we also reconfigured the main entrance to seamlessly accommodate multi-occupation, paving the way for an entire floor of the building to be leased out independently.

Livingston Designer Outlet
Following the successful delivery of our initial £1.9 million roof upgrade, our Insite Cladding & Roofing team is thrilled to have been invited back to deliver part two of the roof refurbishment at Livingston Designer Outlet.
Building on the success of the first stage—which saw us upgrade 7,400 m² of roofing using a sophisticated dual-system approach above a live, high-traffic retail environment—we are ready to bring the same level of precision and expertise to this next phase. Our specialist team will continue working to future-proof the infrastructure of one of Scotland’s premier retail destinations.
Securing the second phase of this major commercial project is a testament to the quality and reliability of our dedicated cladding and roofing division.
