Contracts Builds On New Business Success

Mactaggart & Mickel Contracts has continued its bumper year of new business with a further two wins to deliver its ‘one-stop-shop’ building solution, bringing the total value to date in 2010 to £7.25 million.

The company will fulfil a design and build contract, valued in excess of £2 million, for housing association Places for People at Stuart Square in Edinburgh’s East Craigs.

Construction is now underway on the block of 18 two and three bedroom flats which will provide much needed affordable housing in the area.

Work has also begun to complete 11 townhouses at Williamwood in Clarkston, East Renfrewshire. Appointed by Price Waterhouse Coopers Mactaggart & Mickel Contracts will deliver the final homes in the development of terraces and semi-detached properties and apartments.

With Mactaggart & Mickel Group’s origins in contracting, our customers are accessing 85 years of award winning experience from a well-financed company they can trust.”
