Lawrie Demolition
awarded Phase 1 of enabling works
at Invercauld Arms Hotel, Braemar
Purchased in 2018 by Ian and Manuela Wirth, of the internationally acclaimed Art Gallery Hauser and Wirth, the couple
had a vision of bringing the former hotel back to life as 23 self-catering apartments.
Lawrie’s scope of works included exposing areas of granite walls plus roof and flooring joists to allow further surveys and inspections to enable engineers
to assess what works will be required to allow the building to be fully redeveloped. Works will mostly be carried out by hand stripping wall coverings and
partitions, segregating and then removing materials from the building into various waste streams for recycling. In this phase there will be approximately 110
tonnes of materials removed of which over 90% will be recycled.
On completion of the works, the building will house an 18-person cinema and swimming pool for use by guests and locals.
