IRVINE-based McLaughlin Construction has expressed its pride at being reappointed as one of only 18 contractors selected for the second generation of Scotland Excel’s New Build Residential Construction Contract.
The company has been appointed to lots one to four, covering design and build as well as build only, for developments ranging in size from one to 80 units, with an estimated £1.5 billion worth of contracts projected to be delivered over the four years from September 2024.
With a track record spanning over eight decades in the construction industry, across a variety of sectors, McLaughlin Construction said it has a background of delivering ‘excellence’ in projects of all sizes and shapes.
Project types the firm undertakes include new-build schemes – such as that completed in 2023 for Thenue Housing Association at Landressy Place in Glasgow delivering 27 barrier-free, dementia-friendly flats, and a design & build project at Ardoch Court, Stevenston for Cunninghame Housing Association that delivered 28 homes with two special needs accommodation units. The firm has also been engaged on urban site projects with partial demolitions – like the former King’s Arms Hotel in Irvine, where McLaughlin is transforming a C-listed building for North Ayrshire Council to provide six amenity flats – and the careful conservation and refurbishment of listed buildings, such as the British Linen Bank building in Gorbals Street, Glasgow, completed at the end of 2019 for Southside Housing Association.
Current work in other sectors includes renovations and improvements in primary schools across Ayrshire, the sensitive refurbishment and extension of Millport Town Hall, and the recently completed Hub on the Prom project for Ardrossan Community Development Trust.
Director Shaun McLaughlin said, “We’re delighted to have been successful in once again being appointed to this important framework. We maintain director contact on all our projects so I’m looking forward to personally seeing some exciting new work start to run through it.”
