Cruden Group has been awarded a £7.4 million contract to build social housing for public-private partnership Hub South West in Cambuslang, near Glasgow.
Hub South West’s third housing project with South Lanarkshire Council will provide 48 homes ranging from two-bedroom cottage flats to five-bedroom semi-detached houses in the Auldkirk Road area. Work is expected to be completed in January 2021.
Michael McBrearty, chief executive of Hub South West said: “We are pleased to embark again upon our third social housing project with South Lanarkshire Council this time with Cruden Building & Renewals Limited as main contractor.
“This project also brings with it a high degree of local social value through its delivery of jobs, apprentices and opportunities for local companies to contribute to the end result.”
Hub South-West comprises local authorities, the NHS, blue light services and leading construction industry Tier One building contractors.
Allan Callaghan, managing director for Cruden Building & Renewals, said: “We are delighted to be appointed by Hub South West to deliver this exciting housing project on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council.
“These high-quality homes will be built to Silver Standard energy efficiency levels, providing residents with warmer homes that have fewer carbon emissions and are cheaper to run.
“Throughout this build, we will provide a wide range of benefits for this local community - including employment opportunities and site-based work experience.”
