Homes and walls in Oban
Surveys in Oban (PA34) are arranged around travel to the wider Argyll and Bute.
The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.

Approvals in Scotland
For Oban properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Where a building warrant is needed for Oban work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
