Twin brothers Murdo and Kenny MacLeod founded the parent company, M&K MacLeod Limited in 1975, it was a basic house kit manufacturer and builder.  Today, from its factory in Lochgilphead, Argyll, not only does the firm manufacture and erect varying styles of residential and commercial buildings but it also specialises in quarrying, UPVC double glazing and conservatories, and the operation of a filling station.

The company now own two quarries, a service station and rented accommodation and is the largest timber frame designer and manufacturer in the region - with over thirty years of experience in the timber frame industry the business has become a force to be reckoned with.

The company's directors have stated that adjustments to working practices and ever-changing legislation have forced MacLeod to continually update the business. MacLeod Construction may have been founded on traditional house building values, but it has successfully incorporated modern practices.
