CCG Group has completed a 31-home £220,000 PVCu window replacement workstream for Calvay Housing Association in Glasgow’s east end.
A total of 248 window sets were installed across various addresses in Barlanark in four weeks. The works were led by CCG’s in-house planned maintenance division, known as CCG Asset Management, and the windows that were installed were the firm’s own.
CCG Asset Management manager, Jim Cunningham, said, “I would like to express my thanks to Calvay Housing Association for bringing us on board to support their maintenance activities for the very first time. Our complete supply and installation service offers clients a clear chain of responsibility, with a focus on quality control and customer service, while the products themselves offer long-term added value due to their performance standard.”
CCG’s windows are fabricated in manufacturing premises in Cambuslang using a PVCu profile. Described as a ‘rigid, highly durable’ form of thermoplastic, PVCu is ‘impervious to rot and weathering’ and boasts a lifespan of over 40 years.
A Calvay Housing Association spokesperson added, “We are delighted to see the successful completion of this window replacement programme, which represents a significant investment in our homes and communities. The installation of new PVCu windows will improve comfort, energy efficiency, and security for our tenants, while helping to reduce ongoing maintenance requirements.”
The contract was procured via Procurement for Housing (PfH) Scotland.
PfH Scotland commercial manager, Chris McGinn, added, “This project is an excellent example of how effective procurement can support wider organisational objectives beyond compliance and value for money. By investing in high-quality, energy-efficient windows manufactured and installed locally, Calvay is enhancing the quality of residents’ homes, improving thermal comfort, and helping to reduce future maintenance requirements, while also supporting local employment and economic activity.”
