B&Q, Galashiels.
This project comprised the construction of a new build B&Q unit at Tweedbank, Galashiels.
The new store has been designed and built to help support B&Q’s commitment to reducing the impact of its operations on the environment. It is electrically heated using energy generated by solar panels, which is stored in batteries on-site; maximising efficiency, and helping to reduce its reliance on the electric grid. The store is insulated using highly sustainable products made from rock and mineral fibre, and harvests rainwater, which is used to water plants for sale in the garden centre, and flush toilets
The new 20,000 sq. ft store build includes a showroom area, tools and hardware, paint and décor and a garden centre. There is a wide range of services including paint mixing, a timber cutting service and a TradePoint area for trade customers including dedicated trade parking.
