Kincraig was first established in 1971 to carry out general contracting including new build, both domestic and commercial, extensions and refurbishment works. The company was successful in this area of operations and its focus on customer service served it well. In 1994, Kincraig Directors took stock of the company and the way the industry as a whole seemed to be heading and decided to concentrate on planned kitchen and bathroom refurbishments for housing associations and local authorities that retained their housing stock.
