Why construction teams choose Overnightly in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the most expensive accommodation market in Scotland, and during August festival season availability vanishes entirely. For construction teams, we source well outside the tourist zone in Leith, Granton and Craigmillar where rates are 40 percent lower and properties have the practical features crews need. If your project runs through August, book early. We plan Edinburgh crew accommodation months in advance because we know the market better than anyone.
Edinburgh construction zones we cover
Granton and Leith Waterfront
Edinburgh's biggest housing programme is concentrated along the Forth waterfront. Granton Waterfront, Western Harbour and Leith regeneration deliver thousands of new homes through 2030.
Edinburgh BioQuarter and South East
The BioQuarter expansion near the Royal Infirmary and Edinburgh South East housing allocations create clinical, research and residential construction demand.
