McLaughlin Construction Appointed to ￡1.5BN Scotland Excel Residential Construction Contract

McLaughlin Construction, based in Irvine, is proud to announce its re-appointment 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 ￡1.5BN worth of contracts projected to be delivered through the contract over the four years from September 2024.

With an impressive track record that spans over eight decades in the construction industry, across an wide variety of sectors, McLaughlin Construction has a background of delivering excellence in projects of all sizes and shapes throughout Scotland, working alongside some of the country's best designers and consultants. With numerous active projects on-site, areas they work in include not only social and private housing, but leisure, retail, commercial, health, and education sectors, as well as providing facilities maintenance services, often in challenging environments such as within the nuclear power industry.

Project types the firm undertakes also vary from 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, or their Design & Build project at Ardoch Court, Stevenston for Cunninghame Housing Association that delivered 28 new build houses with two special needs accommodation units - through urban sites with partial demolitions - like the former King's Arms Hotel in Irvine, where they are transforming a category C listed building within the Town Centre Conservation Area for North Ayrshire Council to provide six amenity flats - to the careful conservation and refurbishment of listed buildings, such as the iconic 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 active primary schools across Ayrshire, the sensitive refurbishment and extension of Millport Town Hall to provide a vibrant and sustainable community asset, and the recently completed Hub on the Prom, a gem of a project for Ardrossan Community Development Trust located on the town's South Beach promenade.

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."

Scotland Excel, established in 2008 as the Centre of Procurement Expertise for the local government sector, plays a vital role in facilitating procurement services for Scotland's 32 local authorities and over 100 associate members from the public and third sector.
