RAPT was founded by Robbie Forrest — a hands-on renovation specialist with a background in both design and practical construction.

What began as a one-man restoration outfit has grown into a tightly run team delivering full-scale refurbishments across Edinburgh. Our focus is on modernising period properties with care, precision, and character — and a commitment to doing things properly.

Robbie works closely with clients and onsite teams, ensuring each project benefits from real-world experience, integrated thinking, and a respect for both craft and comfort.

We believe homes should feel as good as they look — and that a builder who knows their materials, their sequence, and their people is worth their weight. That’s the kind of team RAPT has become.
