The £7.5 million contract was made possible thanks to a £3.7m Scottish Government ‘Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund’ grant and comprises the upgrade of tenemental properties around the Linthouse area.

CCG commenced the contract in January and is set to be on-site for a 12-month period. 

To date, the construction and manufacturing firm has completed the installation of 320 PVCu Victorian Slider windows, 800 of CCG’s own PVCu windows, and 396 timber flat entrance fire door sets to 692 properties.

The firm’s window and door sets are fully fabricated across two of the firm’s advanced manufacturing premises in Cambuslang, and are then installed by its in-house maintenance division known as ‘Asset Management.’ 

CCG’s construction division has also recently completed a second workstream for the association, with the installation of 369 timber windows, an additional 509 of its own PVCu windows, and stone repairs.

This ongoing phase of tenement improvement works concluded with 19 closes and over 112 flats benefitting from the upgrades that form part of Linthouse Housing Association’s commitment to future-proof their housing stock, whilst supporting the city’s ongoing efforts to conserve its rich architectural heritage.

Bryan McMahon, director of property services, said: “As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we reflect on the proud industrial heritage of Linthouse and its traditional sandstone tenements. These buildings once housed the workers who helped shape the area, and this investment reinforces the importance of preserving them for future generations.

“Our commitment to listening to our customers and delivering what matters most is reflected in our current work to replace inefficient windows and front doors in our pre-1919 homes. These upgrades have helped improve the energy efficiency of our homes while enhancing the thermal comfort for our tenants.

“This project is a testament to the collaborative effort of our contractors, design team, Scottish Government, and our dedicated staff. It highlights our broader goal to provide sustainable, modern homes that respect the character of our communities and improves the quality of life now and for the years ahead.”

Daveed Barceló Batllori, managing director of HOOS Development, added: “Last year, HOOS were thrilled to help Linthouse HA secure a record-breaking £3.7m of funding from the Scottish Government, the largest SHNZHF grant award in Scotland to date. This milestone highlights our commitment to delivering innovative, impactful solutions in the housing sector while supporting our partners in achieving transformational change.

“As a multidisciplinary development consultancy, HOOS is proud to provide both project management and full design team services, in addition to helping secure funding on behalf of Linthouse Housing Association. This project is particularly significant as it marks the first time in Scotland that triple-glazed windows have been installed on a large scale across traditional pre-1919 sandstone tenements.

“This initiative represents a significant advancement in the retrofitting of historic housing stock, establishing a benchmark for energy efficiency improvements while preserving the architectural character of these properties. More than just upgrading homes, this project is about improving people’s quality of life, safeguarding Scotland’s historic buildings, and establishing a new standard for what sustainable retrofit can achieve for the future.”

Jim Cunningham, CCG asset management manager, concluded: “The CCG Group is currently deployed across Linthouse, and we are delighted with the progress made to date. Our business has worked with the association for many years, and these works will only help to extend what is an already strong working relationship.”
