Formed in 1959 in Hawick, Scotland, on the merger of J P Alison & Hobkirk and Alex Inglis & Partners, we trace our past to their formation in 1887. We are an established award winning professional Architecture Practice operating across the UK from studios in Edinburgh, Manchester and the South of Scotland.

We have a client centred approach and the majority of our commissions are through repeat business and referrals. We provide creative design solutions and manage the delivery of user-orientated, resource sensitive buildings and environments. Our present complement of 25 highly skilled, loyal and motivated professions enables us to manage multiple, diverse, and often complex projects.

We work in health (primary and acute), healthcare, private and public housing, education, industrial, leisure and commercial sectors. We have worked on historic buildings and in conservation areas. We have sustainable building experience and use BREEAM and The Green Guide to rate our buildings.

Aitken Turnbull carry out work in all areas including Master Planning, Healthcare Planning, Estate Strategies, Risk Reduction and Backlog Maintenance Schemes, Feasibility Studies, Design development, Planning and Building Warrant Applications, Production Information and Project Management.

We can deliver projects in BIM and can provide additional services such as 3D Visualisations, SAP and EPC calculations/certificates, exhibition graphics, planning appeals, expert witness services and advice on procurement.
