Construction News Image
Work is continuing on a new social housing development in South Cardonald, Glasgow.

CCG has delivered the first of 51 new homes at Tarfside Oval, which is being built on behalf of Glasgow Housing Association (GHA).

Once finished in December, the site will consist of 21 three-storey flatted blocks, 12 semi-detached and terraced houses and 18 cottage flats. In addition, five of the new homes will be fully wheelchair accessible and all will benefit from landscaped courtyards and cycle storage facilities.

Calum Murray, Director of CCG (Scotland) Ltd said: "The Tarfside Oval project has progressed well since we arrived on site in early January. We are using our own timber frame system for the build, a system that is precision-engineered to ensure quality and improved environmental performance when compared to traditional methods. Met with the use of solar panels, the development will achieve an Ecohomes 'Very Good' rating upon its completion.

"The first homes began construction in early April and we expect to have the entire development fully constructed, wind and watertight by the end of July."

David Fletcher, Director at Wheatley Regeneration, the parent company of GHA, said: "It's good to see the first homes take shape at our new development in Tarfside Oval. The homes are part of the regeneration of the area and will provide quality affordable housing for local people."
