AC Whyte Steps Up Dundee Expansion With Almost £10m Retrofit

AC Whyte is accelerating its growth in Dundee, underpinned by a strong pipeline of work that is creating new roles within the company and opportunities for local supply chain partners.

The contractor has secured a whole-house retrofit programme in the Linlathen area worth almost £10m. The scheme initiates a long-term partnership with Dundee City Council and underscores rising demand across the region for high-quality, purpose-led delivery.

More than 120 homes are set to benefit from upgrades including new external wall insulation and associated works, replacement windows and doors, loft insulation and roof renewals.

Further measures include underfloor insulation, ventilation improvements and the installation of photovoltaic panels with battery storage, aimed at boosting energy efficiency and enhancing residents' living conditions.

As the business expands, AC Whyte says it is focused on building a diverse, skilled and values-driven team, offering clear routes for development, progression and long-term careers for experienced professionals, emerging talent and those seeking a new step.

The Dundee growth also opens doors for local suppliers, trades and service partners to collaborate on community-focused projects, with the company emphasising the importance of strong relationships.

With sustained growth, an enlarging team and a robust order book across Scotland, AC Whyte is encouraging individuals and partners interested in working with the organisation to get in touch.
