Jaguar Land Rover showroom, Edinburgh

Robertson constructed a 10-car showroom split between Jaguar and Land Rover brands, at Fort Kinnaird on the edge of Edinburgh for John Clark Motor Group.

We also built a 12-vehicle workshop that includes MOT and fast-fit bays, as well as maintenance, office and valet facilities. Externally, we built customer, display and workshop parking, together with associated drainage, services and connections.

The showroom is a single storey-building with mezzanine level, constructed with a steel frame on pad foundations, concrete slab with thickenings and perimeter strip foundations. Externally it has a mix of metal cladding panels and curtain walling. We delivered the project within a tight ten-month schedule.

Although working under a traditional contract to a strict global corporate identity brief, we still took every opportunity to make savings for our customer. We advised on plant and waste management best practice to reduce costs, and avoided potential delays by sharing our specialist knowledge of utilities and groundworks.

Robertson constructed the showroom to meet the precise brand standards and enhance the customer experience. We worked meticulously to deliver the required quality for the customer handover bay, luxurious lounge-style waiting area with coffee bar and free wi-fi, and colour and trim section that allows buyers to specify their new car exactly how they want it. Internal finishes include ceramic tiling in both the showroom and service areas.
