CCG has completed a major housing development in East Renfrewshire.

The development in Fenwick/Oakbank Drive and Robertson/Cross Arthurlie Street is the first in East Renfrewshire Council's ambitious plans to build over 200 homes over the coming years. A development at Blackbyres Court is also due to be completed in September.

CCG Director, Calum Murray said: "A lasting legacy has been created by the delivery of these projects. Not only have we brought modern, sustainable affordable homes but also an array of community benefits. Upon the completion of Blackbyres Court in September, CCG will have created up to three new jobs, two trade apprenticeships, seven work placements and donated £3000 to local initiatives which would not have been possible without East Renfrewshire Council's commitment to new build affordable housing. We commend them for that and look forward to continuing our partnership."


The completed housing development was officially opened by Scottish Minister for Housing, Kevin Stewart.

Visiting the Fenwick/Oakbank Drive development, Minister Stewart said: "A house is so much more than just a place to live – it provides a sense of belonging, independence and pride, and promotes wellbeing. We want everyone in Scotland to be able to afford a warm, safe, energy-efficient place to call home. That's why we're investing a record £3 billion to help us achieve our target of 50,000 affordable homes by 2021, of which 35,000 will be for social rent.

"These high-quality new homes in East Renfrewshire are a testament to the partnership working between councils and innovative construction firms. Providing a mix of housing to meet people's needs is essential in establishing vibrant and thriving communities, and the tenants here will benefit for years to come."

Each of the projects have been constructed using CCG's 'iQ' Timber System to ensure an enhanced building fabric, promoting greater standards of quality and thermal efficiency. Furthermore, all of the external and internal timber doors were designed and manufactured by CCG Manufacturing.
