The former Glebe Primary School will be transformed into an 65-home development, comprising two, three and four-bedroom terraced houses and two-bedroom cottage flats.
CCG has been appointed by Perth & Kinross Council to deliver the project. The contractor will utilise innovative, 'offsite' methods of construction to complete the work.

The Council's Convener of Housing and Communities, Councillor Peter Barrett, said: "This development is one of the biggest the Council has brought forward under our house-building programme, which has delivered over 300 news homes since 2011.
"It will provide a variety of affordable social housing in an area where it is much needed and will include an element of housing that has been designed for people with disabilities.
"This is a significant investment in the village of Scone by the Council and will go a long way to meeting the local demand for affordable housing. I am particularly pleased that the development comprises specially adapted ground floor houses for wheelchair users."
The project will also include the development of private rear gardens and parking as well as a children’s play park.
Construction will begin on Scone's new affordable homes this summer ahead of a planned completion date in late 2020.
