The company will supply and erect the timber frames for 184 housing units in the purpose-built Athletes鈥� Village in Glasgow鈥檚 East End.
The site is being developed by Glasgow City Council, in partnership with private-sector consortium City Legacy, which comprises Cruden Building & Renewals, CCG, Mactaggart & Mickel and Malcolm 榨汁姬.
Working with Cruden Building & Renewals, Stewart Milne Timber Systems developed a cost effective timber frame solution to meet the space, thermal and acoustic standards set out by Glasgow City Council. Each house type also had to be flexible in the design and structure to allow the units to be transformed from the Athletes鈥� accommodation into family housing when the Games come to an end. Stewart Milne Timber Systems, together with Cruden, carried out further value engineering on the completed designs to improve buildability and ensure a smooth process on site.
The project, which is being delivered in two phases, continues until August 2013, to allow all units to be complete well ahead of the Games.
Following the Games, the Village will be further developed to become a residential area comprising 1,000 homes, 300 of which will be available for social rental, as well as a care home for 120 residents.
