CCG (Scotland) has confirmed a programme of works worth more than £510 million set to begin in 2026, with a strong focus on delivering affordable and social homes across the country.

The pipeline brings forward projects developed over several years, many of which are now moving from planning, design and pre-construction into on-site delivery.

The contractor plans to start 36 new projects totalling 2,000 homes, including approximately 1,650 for affordable rent.

These additions, alongside more than 800 homes already under construction, will be delivered through long-standing partnerships with local authorities, housing associations and other public-sector clients, as well as a number of private schemes. Over 75% of the programme has been secured via direct procurement.

CCG said the scale and diversity of delivery reflects sustained housing demand across Scotland and the importance of experienced delivery partners in helping meet national and local targets.

Projects within the 2026 programme are spread across the Central Belt and beyond, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Stirling, Fife, Dumfries & Galloway, East Lothian, West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire.

Developments range from major regeneration and placemaking initiatives in urban areas to smaller projects responding to local needs in towns and rural communities.

A significant share of schemes will be led by CCG from conception to completion, integrating its specialist pre-construction services with appointed design teams. Around 1,800 of the homes are set to be delivered using CCG's offsite manufacturing capability.

Offsite delivery involves fabricating complete wall zones in a semi-automated factory before installation and erection on site—an approach CCG has pioneered in Scotland since 2010.

The firm's 'iQ' Timber System sits within a broader in-house offer—including windows, doors, M&E, utilities, flooring and plumbing—designed to enhance quality, speed of build and energy performance, support modern methods of construction and accelerate Scotland's transition to net zero.

The 2026 programme also creates substantial opportunities for skills development, employment and training within CCG and across its supply chain.

The secured workload is expected to support roles across manufacturing, site operations, and professional and technical disciplines, alongside apprenticeships, upskilling and long-term employment in communities across the Central Belt and wider Scotland.

Commenting on the 2026 pipeline, David Wylie, Managing Director at CCG, said: "This pipeline reflects the strength of our partnerships with local authorities, housing associations, and public-sector clients across Scotland, with whom we engage at every stage of a project's delivery to help turn housing ambitions into reality.

"Many of these projects have been shaped through early engagement over a number of years, and we continue to actively work with partners on schemes that will come forward in the years beyond 2026.

"At its core, delivering new homes goes far beyond bricks and mortar. High-quality, energy-efficient housing plays a critical role in tackling homelessness, reducing fuel poverty, improving health outcomes, and strengthening communities, while also supporting economic growth and long-term resilience.

"As the sector continues to face challenges around capacity, sustainability and planning, collaboration and practical delivery will be key. CCG remains committed to working with our partners to deliver homes at scale that are affordable, sustainable, and designed to improve people's lives now and for generations to come."

Alongside its affordable housing focus, CCG's 2026 pipeline includes private residential schemes—including several developments from CCG Homes—plus care homes and commercial projects, providing balance and resilience while prioritising developments with wider public benefit.

With a strong order book and a proven record of partnership with public-sector clients, CCG enters 2026 well placed to support Scotland's housing objectives and contribute to ongoing discussions around delivery capacity, skills, sustainability and long-term housing need.
