Keith Davidson talks to The Herald about his "very varied journey" to becoming a property developer and reflects on the successes of his Easy Living Developments business , which he founded with wife Tracey. He also offers his views on the challenges facing the sector and what could be done to address these. Name: Keith Davidson.
What is your business called? Easy Living Developments Ltd. It was founded by my wife Tracey, a commercial accountant and definitely the boss, and I in November 2011. Scott McKechnie then became the third director when he joined the business as technical director in 2013.
The business is that of property construction and development, with an in-house design and planning team that provides the technical support to both the commercial and residential divisions of the business. Easy Living Homes is the trade name of our housebuilding division and is increasingly becoming a stand-alone brand. Where is it based? Glenrothes, Fife.
What does it produce/do? Residential and commercial construction. Currently developing two residential sites in Fife. Kings Meadow, an 80-home development in the village of Coaltown of Balgonie, will employ the very latest green technology with the use of an ambient ground source heat pump system to provide heating and hot water to all the homes.
This development is a further step forward in the company’s green endeavours and follows its previous successful renovation and redevelopment of the former Forth Park Maternity Hospita.
