We believe that homes should feel as good as they look
The Who
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 & beyond. Our focus is on modernising period properties with care, precision, and character — and a commitment to doing things properly.
The What
It was out of this disconnect that RAPT Projects was born. Robbie has worked hands on on the ground with Trades & Main Contractors for years, is educated within the Academic Design world and immersed in the Interior Design field, with a thorough knowledge of Building regulation - A bridge between each field, able to advocate for the needs of the client.
The Why
After close to a decade in Trade as a Specialist Contractor, Robbie repeatedly noticed a gap between the Main Contractors, Architects, Trades and Clients wherein mistakes were being made and money was being lost. Everyone was a specialist in their own field and trying to realise the clients vision in their own, separate way.
