Robertson completes affordable homes project in Perth and Kinross

Latest News Tue, Mar 22, 2016 5:02 PM

Robertson, the infrastructure, support services and construction group, has handed over 19 council houses to Perth and Kinross Council tenants in the town of Alyth. The Robertson-constructed houses are the first council houses to be built in the area for 25 years.

Tenants have already started moving into the houses, which Robertson completed in 13 months.

The 19 properties within the Alyth Development form part of 120 affordable homes planned for the Perth and Kinross Council area, making an important contribution to the availability of affordable rented homes locally.

The Alyth development comprises a mixture of one bedroom apartments, and three, four and five bedroom houses.

Martin Smith, Regional Managing Director for Robertson commented: “We have strong experience of working with local authorities to provide affordable housing that is of the highest quality. Robertson have built over 4000 affordable homes, so far, for a range of Local Authorities and Registered Social Landlords.”

“The tenants who have already begun moving into the homes in Alyth have already remarked on how pleased they with the homes.”

“The Alyth site did present some challenges. A stream passed close to the site, which obviously impacts on access and of course the design. To rectify this, a rising main for the drainage was installed, due to the topography of the site and the existing network, which required a civil engineering aspect in connecting the drainage.”

The 19 Perth and Kinross Council homes at Alyth had sustainability at the centre of their design. Triple glazed windows and doors, heat recovery ventilation and insulated renders were standard features across all of the houses.

The majority of subcontractors used during construction were drawn from the local community and surrounding areas, in line with Robertson and Perth and Kinross Council policy.

Robertson is also delivering affordable homes for Aberdeen City Council and has several more local authority and housing association contracts underway.
