Cruden to build 48 homes in Cambuslang

A £7.4 million building contract has been agreed that will lead to the development of a new social housing scheme in South Lanarkshire.

The contract, which is the third housing project for Hub South West with South Lanarkshire Council, will provide homes ranging from two-bedroom cottage flats to five-bedroom semi-detached houses.

Hub South West, the public-private partnership, has signed an agreement with Cruden Group to undertake construction of 48 homes in the Auldkirk Road area of Cambuslang.

The contract, which is Hub South West’s third housing project with South Lanarkshire Council, will provide homes ranging from two-bedroom cottage flats to five-bedroom semi-detached houses.

Work has already started on the development which is expected to be completed in January.

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 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.”

Allan Callaghan, managing director of Cruden Building & Renewals, part of Cruden Group, added: “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.”
