Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
We were delighted to be featured in the Perthshire Advertiser (21 November 2025 edition), showcasing our Viking-themed celebration to mark JML Group’s 20th anniversary. The article highlights our flaming longboat designed and built by John Langley (founder) and the fantastic turnout from employees, family, customers and friends who joined us to celebrate this milestone.
The feature also reflects on our journey over the past two decades – from growing our SIPs manufacturing in Auchterarder to expanding our garden rooms and construction projects across Scotland. We’re incredibly proud of what the team has achieved and grateful to everyone who has supported JML Group along the way.
We are proud to announce that JML Group (JML Contracts, JML SIPs and JML Garden Rooms), was recently featured on the front page of the Strathearn Herald (20 November 2025 edition). The newspaper highlighted our 20th anniversary milestone and our continued growth as a leading construction and manufacturing business based in Auchterarder, Perthshire.
Over the past two decades, JML Group has grown from a small local company into a trusted provider of high-quality construction, SIPs manufacturing and premium garden rooms across Scotland. Our commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and sustainability remains at the heart of everything we do.
We’re delighted that our Bridge of Dun project has been featured in The Courier, both online and in print.
The article highlights the completion of this important project and the hard work and dedication from our team at JML who made it all possible. You can also view the online version via the link below:

We’re proud to have played a key role in the latest phase of conservation works at the iconic Kisimul Castle on the Isle of Barra.
Commissioned by Historic Environment Scotland, the project involved the delivery and installation of pre-crafted Scottish oak beams – produced at our Auchterarder facility and transported by helicopter to the remote island site. Working within this unique historic site brought unique logistical and heritage challenges, all handled with care and precision by our experienced team.
Despite weather delays, our crew used the downtime to give back to the community, carrying out a beach clean-up in and around Castlebay. It was a privilege to be part of preserving such an important piece of Scottish history, and we’re grateful to the local residents for their warm welcome.
We look forward to supporting future phases of this exciting conservation journey.

We’re delighted with the article published in this month’s Project Scotland covering one of our SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) family homes we built for a client in Aberfeldy. Planning was achieved on a green field site by the Passivhaus architect Architeco, who designed a carbon neutral home for this family. The client was keen to include plenty of glazing in the design to take advantage of their stunning surrounding views and building their house in SIPs meant that they could take advantage of their thermal efficient properties to achieve a carbon neutral home.
