CCG (Scotland) Ltd has provided details of a ‘substantial’ pipeline of construction projects scheduled to start this year, representing more than £510 million of investment across Scotland and focused primarily on affordable and social housing.
The contractor is due to begin 36 new projects in 2026, totalling 2,000 new homes, including approximately 1,650 for affordable rent. These properties, alongside over 800 already under construction, will be developed through partnerships with local authorities, housing associations and other public-sector clients, alongside a number of private developments, with more than 75% of the work secured through direct procurement.
Projects within the pipeline are located across the central belt and beyond, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Stirling, Fife, Dumfries & Galloway, East Lothian, West Dunbartonshire, and East Renfrewshire. The developments range from large-scale regeneration and placemaking schemes in urban communities to smaller, locally focused projects designed to respond to specific housing needs in towns and rural areas.
CCG revealed a major proportion of the projects will be led by the firm from conception to completion, through the integration of its specialist pre-construction services with CCG’s appointed design teams, while around 1,800 of the new homes will be delivered using the company’s offsite manufacturing capability.
The pipeline also represents an opportunity for skills development, employment, and training, both within CCG and across its supply chain.
David Wylie, MD at CCG, said, “This pipeline reflects the strength of our partnerships with local authorities, housing associations, and public-sector clients across Scotland, with whom we engage at every stage of a project’s delivery to help turn housing ambitions into reality. Many of these projects have been shaped through early engagement over a number of years, and we continue to actively work with partners on schemes that will come forward in the years beyond 2026.
“At its core, delivering new homes goes far beyond bricks and mortar. High-quality, energy-efficient housing plays a critical role in tackling homelessness, reducing fuel poverty, improving health outcomes, and strengthening communities, while also supporting economic growth and long-term resilience.
“As the sector continues to face challenges around capacity, sustainability and planning, collaboration and practical delivery will be key. CCG remains committed to working with our partners to deliver homes at scale that are affordable, sustainable, and designed to improve people’s lives now and for generations to come.”
Alongside its affordable housing programme, CCG’s 2026 pipeline also includes private residential, care and commercial projects.
