Ogilvie Construction has been selected to build 40 new homes in Dundee.

The £4 million project will see new social housing created on Eliza Street for Hillcrest Housing Association.

The site will consist of 36 flats and four semi-detached homes, with work scheduled to start at the end of July. Completion is set for summer 2018.

The homes will be built to the Greener Homes Innovation Scheme standard using modern sustainable construction methods.

Providing energy efficient homes is always a priority for us to help reduce the cost for tenants once they have moved in. We're looking forward to getting started on the site and watching the project come together."
