East Ayrshire Council and CCG (Scotland) scooped Best Housing Project at the Scottish Procurement Alliance awards.

The Council and CCG also won Most Innovative Project for Hearth Place, Cumnock.

Barbieston Road is a new £1.74m development, providing eleven new build affordable homes for rent in the heart of the village, while Hearth Place saw the conversion and upgrade of seven pre-fabricated properties built after the Second World War.

Councillor Douglas Reid, Leader of the East Ayrshire Council said: "The Barbieston Road housing development has been built on the site of the former community centre and library which have been relocated to new, modern facilities within Dalrymple Primary School.

"The houses were designed to a very high standard and built using modern methods of construction. This makes them energy efficient, helping to keep energy bills down.

"CCG worked closely with the local community to keep disruption to a minimum, utilising off-site manufacturing techniques that included the use of their ‘iQ’ panelised timber frame system to speed up the build process and ensure a more efficient site environment.

"This project was a worthy winner of the Best Housing Project and I would like to thank the delivery team who made this project a reality, improving the lives of our residents."

Councillor Elena Whitham, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities said: "The Hearth Place project was extremely innovative. The temporary pre-fab homes built after the Second World War were only designed to last 15 years.

"We spoke to our tenants about the best way forward and they felt very strongly that they wanted to remain within this location. It was then over to CCG to develop a solution that allowed the existing shell of the house to remain while transforming the interior into modern, comfortable and energy efficient homes.

"I am delighted that this excellent project has been recognised by the Scottish Procurement Alliance and has won Most Innovative Project."

Both projects were supported by funding from the Scottish Government.
