Willie Docherty, Managing Director said “We are delighted to provide a first class repairs and maintenance service to GHA customers.

Let’s go to work!

A new regeneration project worth £27m, which is a partnership between City Building, Alexander Morton Homes and North Glasgow Housing Association was recently unveiled.

A total of 196 homes will be built on the site and will include a mix of two and three bedroom detached, terraced, semi-detached and wheelchair accessible housing.

City Building will construct the house structures using timber kits manufactured at RSBi and a total of 42 manual workers and 20 apprentices will work on the project.

Council Leader, Steven Purcell joined the project launch and said “This project will make a huge difference to the lives of people in the area, not just through improvements to the physical infrastructure, but also through the social legacy that the associated jobs and apprenticeship opportunities will bring. It’s a perfect example of how partnerships between the public and private sector can lead to real benefits for ordinary people”.
