Location:
Multiple residential areas, including Calderbank, Moodiesburn, Shotts, and Viewpark

£6.5 Million

GMG has successfully secured a significant contract with North Lanarkshire Council to deliver a large-scale housing improvement programme across multiple residential areas, including Calderbank, Moodiesburn, Shotts, and Viewpark.The project forms part of NLC’s ongoing commitment to upgrading its housing stock and improving energy efficiency standards across 60 properties, following an initial pilot scheme.

Project Scope and Key Works

The programme will involve a comprehensive upgrade of a diverse range of property types, from bungalows to two-storey homes and apartments. Works will include:

  • Removal of existing external wall systems
  • Installation of new external wall insulation systems
  • Roof upgrades, including membrane replacement and insulation improvements
  • Structural alterations such as roofline extensions and chimney reductions
  • Replacement of doors and windows with modern triple-glazed units
  • Installation of inline PV’s
  • Renewal of rainwater goods
  • Associated structural checks, asbestos surveys, and service alterations

A standout feature of the project is the use of high-quality cladding materials, combining:

Russwood timber cladding – delivering natural aesthetics and sustainability benefits
Cedral Click cladding – providing durability, low maintenance, and a contemporary finish.

This combination ensures both visual appeal and long-term performance, aligned with modern building standards.

Importantly, all works will be carried out while tenants remain in residence, requiring careful planning and resident-focused delivery.

Driving Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

With enhanced insulation, upgraded glazing, and improved ventilation systems, the project is set to significantly boost the performance of the homes. This will contribute to:

  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Lower heating costs for residents
  • Improved indoor comfort and air quality

GMG’s appointment reflects its expertise in delivering complex refurbishment projects within occupied homes. The company will work closely with North Lanarkshire Council and residents to ensure minimal disruption while achieving high-quality outcomes.
This project represents another step forward in modernising social housing and supporting sustainable communities across North Lanarkshire.
