Bracewell’s masterplan for the Walliwall site in Kirkwall has taken a further step forward, with Orkney Housing Association awarding an £11.5 million construction contract to Orkney Builders (Contractors) Ltd for the next phase of the development.
Bracewell secured detailed planning consent for the site, helping to unlock the delivery of 41 new homes. The development will provide a mix of homes for social rent, mid-market rent and low-cost home ownership, supporting greater housing choice and affordability for households across Orkney.
This phase of the wider Walliwall development represents a significant investment in addressing the ongoing housing emergency in the islands. Once complete, the homes will support local families, young people and key workers who are struggling to access suitable housing.

Masterplanning
When it comes to masterplanning, we are urban designers and masterplanners with a focus on place-making and long-term value. Working closely with clients, consultants and communities, we develop frameworks that are strategic, deliverable and rooted in place.
Every site is shaped by principles of sustainability, connectivity and biodiversity, creating authentic, people-focused neighbourhoods that balance community benefit with lasting character.
Our masterplanning services include: urban planning, stakeholder engagement, site strategies and framework planning, site viability layout studies, local development plan proposals, schematic layout production, design statements and concept information, vision statements, and visual representations.
