About SDM

SDM, the Glasgow and Edinburgh based building contractor

SDM has been supplying quality building services for nearly 20 years. Starting out in property development, we soon built a reputation as one of the leading providers of insurance repairs and reinstatement in Scotland. We now work with insurance companies, property managers and business and home owners providing a comprehensive range of building and property assistance services, from property maintenance schedules right through to building preservation and structural services.

The SDM approach

SDM are committed to achieving the highest industry standards and we are accredited by all the relevant trade bodies. We are valued for our commitment to customer service, quality workmanship and for our professional approach. We are trusted by insurers and individual clients not to simply patch over a problem, but to get to the root of it and provide a lasting solution.

The fully integrated nature of our service is also one of our key strengths. Because we employ the full range of trades, from plumbers to gas technicians, joiners to plasterers, damp experts to electricians, we cover all the bases. With one point of contact, projects are managed efficiently and effectively from start to finish with no need for additional contractors to be involved.

We have developed our own state-of-the-art IT system to ensure accuracy and accountability at all stages of the project. Companies and clients can log in to check on progress and input information, such as material choice. We pride ourselves on providing clear, transparent billing and we are always happy to answer any questions. We audit each one of our jobs prior to invoicing and have an open book policy to ensure transparency and accountability.

We constantly strive to improve and actively seek feedback from our customers.
